I've played President's many times, as I once had a season pass there. Here are the pros and cons:
PROS: 1) The course is kept in amazing shape, especially given the enormous amount of play it receives. The greens are tremendous. They roll true and are very consistent. 2) The staff is very friendly. The restaurant/bar area is nice (the steak tips are my favorite), with plenty of nice views. Plus, the food prices aren't bad (for Boston/Quincy). 3) The views on the course itself are tremendous. The city skyline once you get past the 3rd hole is as good a view as you'll get anywhere in the metro Boston area. Just awesome. 4) My favorite holes? Number 6 is a legitimate Par 4. Tough tee shot with a sloping, undulating green. A birdie there is tough for any golfer. Number 13 is a very tough, long Par 3. It's 170-180 yards, depending on your tee box, with an uphill tee shot, and if you go right, you're dead. Go left, and you have a very tough downhill chip to a green that slopes severely from back to front. Those are the two best holes on the course, in my opinion. CONS: 1) You can't play 9. The only rate they offer is an 18-hole rate, which is a bummer. 2) A lot of the holes are, quite frankly, gimmicky. Fifteen, the infamous Par 5, is as gimmicky as they come. Many holes are just dinky Par 3's due to the lack of space (#2, #7, #10, #18). 3) The area between 5, 6, and 8 is a shooting gallery. Those three holes lie right next to one another, with very few trees between them. Each hole goes in the opposite direction of the other, so on a busy day you will see players hit into other groups constantly. 4) Walking the course can be tough for older players, or anyone with serious back or joint issues. It's very hilly.
Overall, President's is a fine municipal course for the money. The course is kept in great shape and the greens are a tough enough to offer a challenge to even the best golfers. It's a good course for scratch golfers or a group just looking to have a good time.
