Cyprian Keyes Golf Club, Boylston, MA

Greens are as good as you'll find anywhere. Other than that - little would make me return. The course is quirky...lots of blind shots, weird 90 degree dog legs that "dogleg" at 190-200 yards...many Par 4s requiring 4 irons or 5 woods off the tee. Many. The architect totally got carrier away... not a fun place to play. Took 5 and a half hours to play on a Friday afternoon in September. "Dan" the Ranger was great at watching the slow play. Did nothing and when he came to our group (facing another 6 minute wait to hit), my playing partner politely commented that it had taken us 4 hours + to play 13 holes. We were told by Dan that "you need to relax" - with the message delivered with just short of an attitude. "Relax" at a course that is painfully slow where "Rangers" do nothing about it? Hmmm. The $74 (riding) is $20 more than I'd ever even consider paying here where I ever to come back... which I assuredly won't. I have played 41 of the USA's top 100. A 9 handicap. This place wouldn't crack the Top 500. Really did not like the course. If you hit the ball 240 or more yards straight... you'll end up in a bad place, usually. This is NOT what a golf course layout should be. Give me a Ross, Raynor or Pete Dye course any day. Cyprian Keyes is just quirky and overpriced.

This is a beauty of a course. It is difficult but not brutal. The scenery is beautiful. The maintenance is excellent. I am a high handicapper but thoroughly enjoyed my round. I would definately play again.

This is my favorite course within an hour of Boston. The risk reward here is amazing for long hitters. You will never hit a blast off the tees, cut the hole in half, and end up in a ditch.

Very tricky course, no holes are the same. Conditions are up there with the best. Greens fees a little pricy, but with the fees a little high, and newbies losing about a hundred balls the first time they play there, THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES YOU CAN PLAY WITH GOOD PACE!!!!

Too many hackers out there playing courses with long hitters and ruining everyone's pace. Everyone do me a favor and teach some golf etiquette before teaching them how to swing.

played the tips. w/o local knowledge of the course i was a little lost. a lot doglegs, elevated greens and blind shots. i would say this is a tough course, especially from the tips. The first 2 holes kind of throw you off because theyre not as hard or like the other 16. Some holes you had lay up off the tee and others you shouldnt because of the length and they were equally as narrow. Be straight or lose a lot of balls. On the plus side i found a lot of balls. Impecable grounds keeping. Had employees hand raking every tee box. Great greens and fairways.
