New England golf. Fun track, but nothing truly special. Great value. Tough walk.
Hometown course, challenging in many ways as the greens are massive but the penalty’s off the tee and fairway can ruin the round. Stay in play and you’ll go low. Avoid it on the weekends it’s too slow, weekday mornings if you can is best.
