The 4th hole is a par 3 along Ocean Avenue. My buddy hit driver and I hit a hybrid and we were both short. The wind was whipping.

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!
