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!

Easily walkable, very quiet. Condition was excellent and there are a variety of holes that test lots of different shots. Plenty of length from the back at ~6700. Greens were rolling fast and true, and there were some really fun pin placements.

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 Foster, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
