Pros:

Solid course. Clearly marked and easily accessible baskets. Parking is great and the course is immense.

Cons:

There are a few moments where unless you paid attention to the hole prior, you are unable to see where the next hole is. Many have signs that read, "Next hole" on an arrow. I just wish it was everywhere.

Other Thoughts:

I know there has been discussions about the evolution of the course on FB groups, and as a novice player, I look forward to what is to come for this course!

Pros:

The property is conservation land on the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border. I can't think of any other course on conservation land in this area.

The course is not very old but already is in great shape. Tee signs are on every hole and navigation was pretty easy with "next tee" signs on every hole. Baskets are excellent Mach X's in bright orange, and seeing the basket was never an issue.

The course is pretty hilly and makes for a lot of fun shots. Baskets are frequently on natural mounds with opportunities for rollaways. Several holes have thrilling downhill shots (6 and 11). The fairways are clean, the trees are tall, and there aren't many annoying thin branches. I can't tell if they were already gone or if a ton of work was put in to remove them, but the result is pleasing to the eye and fun to play.

This is mostly an intermediate's paradise. The course starts and ends with the two legit par 4 holes, but over half the holes are under 320'. All the holes except #1 are wooded, but many of the fairways are more generous than you'll get on a typical New England course. You need to hit your line, but the gap isn't some ridiculous hallway-sized tunnel.

Cons:

Only a few tee pads are finished, but they are nice brick pads.

Most holes had one obvious path to the basket with a few exceptions (#13 and #18 being the counter examples).

Several holes had piles of dead branches, which can be annoying if they are close to the fairway and you end up in it.

Other Thoughts:

The address on this site is for hall or club or bar or whatever it is that is next to the course. I can't tell where the grassy lot is supposed to be since there was snow and ice on the ground. Not sure if you're supposed to park where I did, but if you do, walk past the building, over the brick bridge, and walk past the practice basket on your left to get to hole 1.

It's great to see another course in the eastern part of Massachusetts. I'm impressed with how far along this place is. The conditions were icy the day I played, and I still had a nice round. I can't wait to come back in the spring.
