I don’t want to like it but damn it I do. I always cringe handing over my credit card for the hefty price tag associated with a course barely 5,900 yards. ($48 weekend greens fee and $65 to ride) But this course has a story; recognized as the first 18 hole public course North of Boston, it was a pioneer and as an exclusive public golfer I respect and admire it's place in Massachusetts golf history... Once on the course you get to experience some of the charm that comes from a 1929 design, rolling fairways, back to front slopping greens and short walks to the next tee. Then you realize the fairways are in decent shape, greens roll smoother than most public tracks, and the short par 5’s surrender birdies frequently enough that it allows you to start feeling pretty good about your game... Caution that if you get too cocky the old school greens with present day mowers can quickly put you in your place but for the most part it's feel good golf and sometimes that is just what you need.
It's like taking out an old flame out for dinner that's never quite gotten over you... nod and smile politely to everything she's says and the confidence boost she'll supply later on is well worth picking up the check.
