Diamonds from the Rough
Always kept in tip-top shape
Front 9 boasts four tour-length holes
Exteremely intimidating opening drive
Sharpen those iron blades before coming out
Holes offer a nice variety of looks with excellent routing
Dastardly greeting committee awaits you at the 9th green
600+-yard 6th hole also treats you to a couple of long bunkers pinching the green
If you’re looking to beat a number, expect to be playing catch up for awhile after the first four holes
Very nice views of a part of Massachusetts that’s often overlooked by Boston-Berkshires travelers
Local rule on balls in brook getting a free lift a bit unfortunate, while understandable
The slope ratings are low, but this is a challenging and quality layout
Undetectable shelf protects the green at the short par 4 8th
Greens have lots of slope, but not a lot of speed
Fairways not always plush, but the lies are soft
Cooler water the perfect temperature
Perimeter of the course is a bit ragged
A most serene property
