Absolutely can’t recommend this course enough if you’re looking for a great fall golf experience in New England. I’ve played here last few years in October and it’s been a great experience, skip the summer rates and get out here when the foliage is prime!

A challenging course that does a great job taking advantage of the natural terrain. The course was is great shape, unfortunately when I played the new clubhouse was still under construction but it looks like it will be nice.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Baltic, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
