Reviews of French River Golf Course (Golf)

Evan Emge

If you can play here, you can play anywhere.

Scott de Koning

$30 for a round of golf. People pay that just for the views you get there. Do yourself a favor and golf this course. For the price it's worth it. Personally 15 is my favorite.

Dianne Churchill

I love this place! Very relaxed, beautiful scenery and the owners are wonderful!

Marcel Jussaume

Quiant course, 4655 yards 18 holes, beautiful views. Wide open, no traps no hazards. Wide open. $20 for 18 and $14 for 9

Jim Panter

Fun course, especially for beginners. Very open except for two holes. Greens are rough, but for the price is worth it.

The Handmade Tale

This was a surprisingly awesome place to play a round of golf away from the wannabes and the snooty golfing crowd that is so often evident. Too bad Linda Dushcene only played two holes. Once you pass the second hole the vistas open before you and you’re literally taken back to a time when golf courses demanded accuracy and shot making. Reminiscent of golf when we were kids when it was for fun. My girlfriend is just learning the game and this place was perfect because there weren’t groups of impatient golfers trying to complete the course in record time. We had a wonderful time playing, laughing and learning how difficult golf really is. With somewhat untamed fairways, mowed properly and postage sized greens that demanded accurate shots I was surprised at how well that I played. The opening hole is a very short par 5. Thinking automatic birdie is something you’re going to get over when you see the size of the green. There’s two par threes at 210 yards and another at 190. Not an easy feet on any golf course. Add the wind and the distraction of the views and you’ll appreciate just how good your short game is if you manage a par. I would challenge anyone that thinks that they’re good at this game to shell out the few pennies required to play here to beef up their game. Linda must have felt like she was stealing something because of the price but I can tell you that for the price you get much more than you paid for. That’s not the case in most island golf venues. Once she and her playing partners decided that they had been “taken” for their twenty dollars they obviously couldn’t see the forest for the trees. As a matter of fact there really aren’t any trees to worry about and to take away from the raw beauty that awaits those that can see it. Go play here for all of the above reasons and then go visit the Sou’wester pub in New London to talk about how demanding this course was and how your game needs some skill sharpening. I really can’t think of a way I would rather spend an afternoon in such a beautiful part of the island saving my pennies for an appetizer apres golf. Oh and the staff was warm and friendly but I’m sure they could be somewhat defensive about their property when someone comes and beats them up about it. I don’t blame them one bit Linda. Cheers!❤️

My wife and I really enjoyed our 9 holes at your course today! A very relaxing time. Price was fair too! Talk about a picturesque location..very scenic!

Lots of fun

Barrett Greenough

Very nice course for the price, there isn't even stuff in the grass and it's layers are well maintained.

Patrick & Debbie O'Malley

The quality of the course isn't top notch however the views are spectacular. Our 5some had a blast and we were the only ones out. A completely relaxed round of fun.

French River golf course is where you go to "learn" how to play golf, or if you wanted to take the gran-kids to teach them. Reason being is because of it's casual, laid back course atmosphere. The course has been open for 20 years and advertises it usually opens April 1. Green fees are $20. Expect weeds, a fieldy surface but none who plays there minds. BTW, the view is second to none. That I can guarantee! 10/10 would recommend.

Linda Duchesne

Very disappointed with this course. Fairways not mowed...more like rough. Greens full of weeds....never seen anything like it. No yardage markers...one tee box...difficult to find and not mowed. No yardage markers. We expected it not to be great because of the price point, however it was so bad, we stopped playing after two holes. The real disappointing part was after politely giving feedback as to why we stopped playing, the owner/or person who checked us in and took our money, was very rude and very unreceptive to any feedback. A disappointing experience and would never recommend this course to anyone whether a beginner or not! Rude customer service and very poor golf course...more like playing in a field.

Andrew Duffett

Views are great , not greatly maintained with weeds and higher grass. Good family golf experience. My only complaints would be we got rained out big time 3 holes in and had to stop. Maybe an offer to come back and finish the next day could have been in order as we paid about 120$ for 1/2 hour. Also only one ball per player not good as inexperience and kids will inevitably lose one.

Steve Kneebone

My wife..who's a beginner...and I had a very fun afternoon..and the price was very reasonable

Carrie Campbell

Met a little friend on the first hole.

Jessica Blacquiere
