First Time at Butternut

My first time at Butternut Farms was great!! Golf course is really good. Plays shortish at 5755 from whites but is very narrow and tree lined. If you spray ur tee ball you will not be able to do nothing but pitch out and regroup. Some really memorable holes here. # 3 is a longest hole to a double green. # 8 is fantastic!! 268 yards over wetlands to narrow fairway w a small green. Beautiful hole. # 9 plays into a great clubhouse with a patio over the back. # 10 is a monster. 600 yards slight dogleg right w a narrow fairway. 3 or 4 shot hole with fairway ending at about 120 with pitch over a pond to a narrow green I actually hit pin on the fly and landed close for me to save par. # 5 plays long over a lake after going across a covered bridge. Really enjoyed 14. Drive over protected wetlands to a slight right dog leg. Overall course was in great shape. Bunkers. Greens and fairways. Only two complaints. Tee boxes were hard. Not forgiven for irons and tough to find a soft spot for tee. My main issue was customer service in grill. Girl didn't seem to want to be there. Outside smoking when we arrived. We only had time for a drink b4 our round but planned on coming in after round for drinks and a burger but when we asked her the hours she basically said that 5 pm was it. On a summer Sunday!?!? And sure enough with our 206 tee time we were done about 615 and it was locked and done. C"mon maybe 7 o'clock during the summer?!? Very disappointed. This was reason I couldn't give Butternut Farms five stars They have a amazing clubhouse. Keep it open so we can enjoy it. Definitely will be back. I shot a 76. So golf was excellent

Short and narrow

The course itself played pretty short from the blue tees, but many of the tee shots had trouble to the sides. Found myself hitting 3 iron off the tee for a majority of par 4s with a mid iron into the greens. A leaf blower would have made a big difference. My group lost a number of balls that simply couldn't be found due to the piles of leaves lining each hole, so fall golf drops were in full effect. Lots of variety when it comes to hole layouts which was nice. Overall a decent experience and managed to shoot a personal best with my second ever eagle on the 7th hole.

Tough year

New England weather has not been great this summer, so its been tough on the greens keepers, but the course was very wet, tee boxes were beat up, and the greens had been punched a week or so prior but still very rough and uncut.

Aerated greens, very sandy and slow.

The course is a good layout with narrow fairways. Recently aerated makes the greens very sandy and bumpy. I like the course but would not pay full price the way the course is now. It should be discounted in current condition.

Severe thunderstorms - No rain check & Just go away!

Twelve of us booked to play yesterday using GolfNow app. After playing first 9 holes, we met severe thunder storms & lightening. Too dangerous to play golf. The owner would not give refund or raincheck!
We wanted some drinks/foods to stay out of thuderstorm, but their restaurant closed up!
You should listen to many golfers' complaints on your "No Raincheck" We're not confused 24 cancellation policy with "No Raincheck"!
