Editorial Review for Leo J. Martin Memorial Golf Club – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
The driving range, which sits in front of the clubhouse on the main road through the course, sometimes seems like golf's equivalent of the "Star Wars" bar. Noblemen who step out of black Mercedes Benzes on their way to Weston smack balls beside guys who hope their rusted autos will get them home from whichever Allston bar they plan to patronize that night.
The Greens
The course begins as a well-worn amble along MDC waterways before shifting across the street to the somewhat lush, more upland fairways of the back side. Any local 15-year-old who hasn't sweated his way through these last five holes on a hot summer evening with just one golf ball left hasn't lived. For a course that sometimes seems randomly routed, Leo J. Martin offers a wide variety of contours and challenges.

Hands down the worst golf course I have ever played. It is a shame that this is course has fallen into such disrepair. The tee boxes are literally dirt and rocks, many tee boxes have simply been placed in the middle of the fairway. The fairways look like they haven't been watered in years, and this is a course that follows the banks of the Charles River! Even the club house is in horrible condition. The state apparently cut off all funding for this place awhile ago. If they spent a few more bucks on this place it could be a really great course. I understand that this is just a public course, but I have never seen a muni look like this. Golf courses can be both cheap and in decent condition. Well maybe not in Massachusetts! It is truly sad to see a golf course look as bad as this.
Pros: None
Cons: Absoultley everything
