All Around Great Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course will test every disc in your bag with a great combination of holes. Some holes are short and others long, some require hyzers, others anhyzer, with a perfect blend of elevation change. The MachX Baskets absorb almost everything with the inner and outer chains woven together. The field at the parking area has 2 practice holes, and is wide open for pre-round warm-ups. The same open field is the fairway for hole 1 which provides a confidence boosting first shot.

Cons:

This doesnt have the backing of a Champion level course for pro level tee boxes, signage, and Circle 1 areas, which is okay. Its a great free course but anything higher than a 4 needs these things.

Other Thoughts:

None.

A few tweaks 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 15, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Watching this course grow up from its creation last summer has been awesome. Seeing the teepads get installed and the jungle around the holes get slowly beat down is a true testament to the builders' passion for this course.

1) Well marked course, hard to get lost except finding the tee for 8 at first
2) Great Mach X baskets
3) Long teepads w/concrete tiles
4) The front and back 9 have two completely different personalities. Front 9 shorter, more technical. Back 9 lets you air out shots.
5) It's gorgeous and uses the elevation of the land beautifully on almost every hole in one way or another
6) Makes you bring out every shot you have

Cons:

So I've rated this course a 4 because for this area of New England, this is a top tier layout compared to courses like Amesbury, Topsfield, Burlington, & Pelham (great course as well).

But there are some fundamental flaws in this course that simply must be addressed to make this an Elite Course. So, from the perspective of a scratch golfer here is my problem with this course: The ENTIRE course is full of very, very easy par 3's yet many of them are nearly impossible to birdie. Even with a perfect nuke of a drive you will hit the landing zone and STILL have a 75 foot upshot. Holes 1-6 are birdie holes. I can throw 430' and holes 7, 8, & 16 are like the adopted step-children this course could stand to lose.

I understand the idea of making a hole a "3.5" in that it's a difficult par 3 and 50% will par and 50% will bogey. However, on these par 3's 80% will par, 18% will bogey and 2% will birdie. Either push these holes back and make them "3.5's" or move them in and make them possible birdies, because at the moment they are simple, simple, par 3's and offer no score separation at all if in a tournament.

Other Thoughts:

LOVE the course, it's beautiful, clean, has great fairways and lines to hit and has grown so, so quickly. If 5 or 6 of the pin locations were adjusted, this course could be 5 stars.

Great course with lots of variety 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 26, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy course to get to, not far off the main roads (Rt.125 and I-495) on the border of Paistow, NH and Haverhill, MA. Bright orange Mach-X baskets are very easy to see and can take hard hits without spitting the disc out. Great signage will guide you from the tee to the basket, then from the basket to the next tee. A nice 2-basket practice area between #18 and #1 is there to warm up. Along with the varying terrain, the mostly open fairways make for a fun and exciting round.

Cons:

Summer time can bring LOTS of poison ivy, I know that it's trying to be resolved, this is a course that's only a few months old. Not all of the tee pads are complete, leaving some rough footing on some of the holes. Again, this is being worked on and I would imagine that they would be completed in the spring.

Other Thoughts:

Parking is found in the big field where the orange Innova Wahoo is hanging from a tree. This is a carry-in carry-out course, bring a bag to carry out your trash. Some of the holes are in ear shot of the course, try to respect the noise level in these areas.

Great new course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 25, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Brand new course on the NH/MA border. I live 40 mins away from the next closest course so this 10 minute drive is very nice

Excellent layout. Can tell there was a lot of thought that went into each hole.

Tee box signs have just been put in place which makes the course a lot easier to navigate for newcomers.

Cons:

No real teebox yet just dirt. But they will be putting in pavers shortly.

Other Thoughts:

I can see they will be improving as the year goes on with new paver tee boxes and signage.

Great new course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Beautiful new course on the border of MA/NH. The designers made great use of the land - while the first 9 holes wind through the same patch of woods, each hole is different enough to keep things unique. Holes 10-18 are a bit more spread and are long enough to air it out. Really enjoyed this layout.

Cons:

As noted by some other reviewers, this course is brand new, and at the moment, there are no tee pads and no signage. That said, this is to be expected for such a new course - and I believe there are plans to install these in the future. For now, the dirt is definitely playable, and pink flags mark the trail to each new tee. The only potential area for confusion is hole 9 to hole 10 - you need to walk past the tee for hole 5 to get to 10.

Other Thoughts:

Awesome new addition to northern MA/southern NH! Huzzah to the organizers/designers of this course - a job well done, and much appreciated by many (judging by the number of players who are already out there tossing!)

Watch what this one turns into! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 10, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Elevation changes. Wide fairways. Unforgiving rough encourages thoughtful lines. The baskets are awesome (Mach X). Hole distances are very fair and really fit the par 3 framework of disc golf perfectly.

Cons:

The rough is really hard to free yourself from at times which can make par feel out of reach on a few holes. The bugs in the woods are always a downer. The tee boxes are hard to throw from in their current condition but should improve with use and TLC.

Other Thoughts:

Having a course of this caliber materialize in just a couple months time is really impressive. The dedication and work that has made this course so playable so quickly really does help "grow the sport". Big thanks to the people that took the lead here and the many others that donated time and resources.
