Don’t slice it

I once hated this course. I now love it. Bunch of good guys running it. Fairways are soft and greens are fast and true. Fairly large greens compared to some other local courses. Even when aeration was done, the ball rolled nice. So a fade does you no good most holes. A slice is a death sentence. If you hit a draw or a straight ball you’ll be confident with most shots. Cool layout. Each hole on the front has its own flavor. The back has a more straight forward approach, yet is fun and has holes a fade won’t kill you. If you wanna shoot low here you need to pick targets and be aggressive. Holding back won’t do you much, other than maybe not loosing a ball here and there, but the only way I ever played it well was when I went for it. Rates are good. Driving range is so so, but works. I like hitting off grass, they use mats. Would be cool to have bunker practice area. Practice green is nice. Go play it. When you get frustrated...play it again!

Love this place

Out of all the courses I’ve ever played, this one is by far the most risk/reward layout I’ve seen to date. I normally play white tee boxes elsewhere, but yardage here from the whites is probably less than your use to, so blue tees are where I play from here. The layout is awesome! No 2 holes are the same. Several holes offer eagle opportunities, however a miss hit will leave you in trouble most often. Drivable par 4’s...4 to be exact. Short par 5’s if you get off the tee well. The grass reminds me of a memory foam mattress. When you lift your foot from fairways the footprint slowly rises back up. Point is the ground is soft. Easy to take big divots. Less friction between your club and the ground makes my clubs go further here by around 10 yards an iron. The greens hold extremely well, so attack the flag, but please repair those ball marks. The greens were always slow and bumpy and not that true as a result, but recently that has changed. Much, much faster now and the putts actually break as you’d expect as a result. The staff is awesome and they always seem to remember who I am, so when it’s time to check in, they’re already a step ahead as I walk into the pro shop. My only complaint is some tee boxes on the par 3’s are a bit beat up. That usually leaves uneven footing when setting up to hit a shot. But overall this place is one of the funnest places I’ve ever played, and I’ve played lots of places from around the area and well out of state! It’s affordable. It’s fun. It’s friendly. Book it!

Best western MA course

The most groomed course around. Flat manicured tee boxes and amazing fairways to say the least. Fast and true greens that make other courses seem blah. Good assortment of short, medium and long holes. The holes have good separation so you feel miles away from other groups playing. Very picturesque!!! Every hole looks like a postcard!! Every hole has its own feel so you never feel as if you've played a similar hole earlier in the round. GPS touchscreen on carts as well as club and ball washer. The range has real grass, no mats to hit from. Putting and chipping area also has bunkers to practice from which is a huge bonus when warming up. Pace of play there always seems to be well above average and the staff is always helpful and welcoming. Overall a 11 out of 10 when it comes to value and enjoyment.

Once was nice

This course use to be amazing...but now it has ok greens, the fairways and dryer than ever with weeds and burnt grass in a lot of areas and the tee boxes had more sand and divots than flat areas with grass to hit from. I once loved this course but I won't go back unless someone pays me to play. It's too bad.

Risk/reward

A tight course at times. Amazing fairways. So soft. So green with no rain for over 2 weeks. Well maintained. Greens hold nicely. Putting is moderate for aggressive putting. Top shape. Distance isn't key here. Fairways and GIR is the key. Love this place! Great staff.

Solid course

This course is tough for sure, but fair. Flat tee boxes are nice compared to most in the area. Soft fairways for easy ball striking and most importantly the greens always roll beautifully. They can be quick at times, but that just means they are true and that's better for accuracy. Keep it in the fairway and you'll be fine, long hitters will find trouble in the rough, but overall the quality for the dollar makes this course worth every penny spent!!!
