Should have told us about the greens being aerated!

Here is the problem, front nine greens were aerated (not much sand), back nine greens aerated (a lot of sand). I understand this has to be done, but they should have told us when my buddy called to book time (two foursomes). We could have gone somewhere else or the fee should have been discounted down to $40.00 at the most. Greens were almost impossible to read and puts bounced all over the place! The pro shop could have told us about the greens, when we arrived. I would not recommend this course because they were not honest with us. Also, the limited menu is bull and no beverage cart. I thought this place was supposed to be topnotch. They should take lessons from their sister course, on how to run a golf club. Funny we ate inside at that course with a full menu, three months ago! We have played a lot of courses in Ma, Ct & Ri and they all have had a full menu available, with indoor and outdoor dinning.

A thinking golfers course.

There are only a couple of hole where you can just rip and grip your driver. This course, especially the ones into the hill make you think about placement not length. The greens put true but read them for not just the big breaker, but the subtle ones near the cup! This is truly a quirky but fun course. Taking into account the major drought the northeast is experiencing Quail Hollow was in great shape. Only a couple of tee boxes were worn. the fairways were in good condition and the greens were all in excellent shape! The food was excellent and the views from the course and club house are great. But most of all, everybody at Quail Hollow was extremely friendly and welcoming!

Short course, but you better be able to read puts!

Tight, sloping fairways, elevated tee boxes and greens and very fast greens with undulation. Everyone at the course was very friendly and helpful! Wet conditions from the day before(2" of rain), made for a tough but fun day. Unluckily the restaurant was closed. That is why a average rating for off- course amenities. This a quirky but beautiful course with a lot of character. We will definitely come back next year. Plus we want to eat at the restaurant, which friends have told me is extremely good!

Course in very good conditions(Except Bunkers)

Very nice course, fast greens, the people working there are extremely, nice & helpful! I would have given 5 stars, but the bunkers were in poor shape, a lot of stone. But I talked to the man in the pro shop and he stated that all the bunkers were going to be redone by the start of next year. I would play this course again.

Great course, Fun to play, Great employees, Great food!

I have played this course off & on since I was a kid, I am now 63. The layout at Foster makes you think. On a number of holes, put away the driver and think! My title says it all.

Fast Greens!

The course was in very good shape from tee box to green. The greens were very fast, but putted true. Be prepared, after #11 the game changes as it's doglegs and tight for #12 thru #15. They can ruin a round quickly. Took my round and humbled me! But, that's one of the reasons Foster C.C. is so much fun to play. Also, everyone here makes you feel welcome! The food is excellent!

Wet, But Fun

Course was wet( Can't fight Mother Nature), some fairways were closed to carts. The greens were in good shape, not fast but putted true. The bunkers were not in good shape, hard packed and puddles in some. The rough is thick, which for this layout is correct. The pace of play was slow, but that was due to a lot of older players having to walk to their ball. Nothing wrong with that as we'll all be at that some point in our lives. Contrary to a lot of the bad reviews about the staff from Golfnow players, my foursome was a Golfnow group, we found everyone at Cranston C.C. to be very friendly!

Wind Gusts To 25 M.P.H. !

As usual the course was in great shape! A lot of roll on the fairways and fast but true greens. The wind made it a tough day. Everyone at the course was great. Ate our supper there and the food was excellent. We will be back next year!

You must know the course!

Never played before and I can tell you, you need to know the course! This is not a bad thing, sharp doglegs and up and down fairways to greens require it. Yes, the greens are fast, but put true. They were in good shape. To other players not the course "Fix your ball marks you dummies"! Play was slow some times, but wasn't the end of the world. There were wet areas on the fairway, that's why the good not excellent rating. Nothing you can do about Mother Nature. The layout was alot of fun, you can't just "Grip it & Rip it". Shot placement is premium here. Ate at Egans' Pub and the food was very good. Best of all everyone at New England Country Club, were very friendly and helpful! will definitley play this course again.

Good Course, Fast Greens!

We played the Blue & White course. The course was in very good shape, a lot of roll on the fairways. Yes, the greens were fast, but putted true. Pace of play was excellent for the first 10 holes, then my partner and I ran into a foursome that thought they were playing the pro tour. They would not allow us to play through, this is not the courses fault! It's four inconsiderate players (you know who you are, the carts had the U.S. flag on one & the Canadian flag the other). Met the pro Chris Medeiros, he was very friendly, as was everyone we met who worked there! Fun course to play. I will be back to play again. No comment on the amenities, as we didn't go in the restaurant after. Thanks to Chris and everyone at Elmridge for a good day!

Great Deal, Course needs some TLC

Cold Springs C.C. is a challenging lay out with 5 Par 5's & 6 Par 3's( some 190+ yds.). Extremely elevated tees & greens. A staff that is very friendly and helpful. The food is very good and the views of the surrounding countryside are great. the bunkers are in great shape , they use true bunker sand( white & no stones) But, the course itself needs TLC, crabgrass on the some of the tee boxes and alot in the fairways. the greens putt true but are in below average condition. I would go back simply because it was a fun course to play and I would like to improve my score of 95 ( Bad Drives & missed puts)

4 Holes that can make or break you!

Always fun to play! Fast true rolling greens. Holes 12, 13, 14 & 15, doglegs that make you think. The staff is always extremely friendly and helpful. Only 4 stars on condition ( Very dry), but we all need some rain! The food is very good and reasonable prices.

Fum course to play

Tee to green in excellent shape! A couple of the traps need to be cleaned up & raked, small stones, but not that bad. Balls checked up on the greens very well, good thing because some of the greens are huge. The greens putted true and very fast! Big hitters off the tee can reach a couple of the par fours with their drive. Good driving range, did'nt get there early enough to use it. The practice green was the same condition as the course greens, making it easy to figure out speeds on course. I did'nt rate off- course amenities as we left right after our round. The staff was extemely friendly and knowledgeable! I will definitely come back and play this course again.
