I think Mr. Horrible must have played on 09/07/08, not 09/08/08 because the greens were absolutely cut on 09/08. I asked around and on 09/07 they weren't cut due recent aeration and topdressing accompanied by an unforeseen circumstance that prohibited mowing. Granted, that is not the player's problem. It's not an exuse, just an ...

Horrible
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/08/08
Golfed at Beverly today. Quite posbbily the worst course I have ever played. The greens were unusable, uncut and the amount of sand placed on the greens made it seem like we were putting on a beach...only with less predictability than the beach. The boulders are rediculous, broke a shaft on my nine iron when hitting a shot from the fairway!! ...

many positive changes
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/04/08
A new management company has taken over the club, and in just a few short months the changes are remarkable. The course is in great shape, with many improvements. It has always had the reputation of being one of the most challenging courses on the north shore. It is once again turning into a beautiful course. The staff is great, the 19th Hole a ...

Railroaded?
By golfer, 10/01/07
Sounds like the people complaining are best friends with Scanlon and Coughlin, who are best friends with the old management company and are doing their best to get rid of Johnson. How do you know where Johnson gets their product from? Are you there to golf, or piss and moan? Your complaints are too transparent, and you sound too much like you just ...

What a Shame!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/14/07
I echo all of the other negative reviews. Any reviews that are positive have to be Johnson employees or they are just blind. This used to be one of the best courses around. Since Johnson Management took over it has become a very last resort for my friends and I to play. I can't begin to tell you how many golfers have the same negative ...

They Should Pay You to Play There
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/10/07
The course has been in horrible shape ever since Johnson Golf Management took over. The only complaint I ever had about the pre-Johnson era was that I couldn't get a tee time because it was so busy. Now its wide open all the time because no one wants to waste their money. Johnson wrote the book on how to destroy golf courses. The Beverly city ...

Awful
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/03/07
Course is in terrible condition. Not a friendly atmosphere for consumers. Some of the greens are in terrible shape. The rough is six inches high and not cut. It use to be a gem but has deterioted.

Stay Away
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/18/07
I think the only positive reviews on this course are written by the people that work there. What used to be a wonderful facility when it was managed by other folks like the Friels for example. They seem to have done a nice job with Mount Hood in Melrose, MA.

Don't Go Back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/09/07
There is nothing to like about this golf course which is sad because for years it was always a gem. Yes, bathrooms are closed.... long blonde hairs in meals, poor conditions, and miserable crew.
