After playing Cape Cod CC yesterday that still had some Country Club roots, this is more a Public maintained course with lots of traffic. Only had time for nine (9) holes so I paid my $30 9/cart ($44 for 18/cart) on this mostly flat, treelined and "Side by Side" layout. With the three (3) tees you can play from 6,535yds / 70.0 / 118 down to 5,764yds / 74.0 / 125 on this Par 35/37 layout. Fairways are mowed narrow but have a little room to stray until you get to the trees separating the adjoining fairways. The greens (7-8) are mostly average round in size with nice sand traps on both sides. The Front 9 starts out with a narrow 400yd, straightaway Par 4 with a Hcp 5. The #2 Par 3 at 175yds plays tough because of a narrow green and right front sand trap. The #3 Par 4 at 370yds is your most open fairway till you get to #7. The #4 Par 3 at 130yds is pictured in the insert above with water carry in front. The #5 is their Hcp 1 Par 5 at 545yds on this long meandering narrow fairway to a elevated narrow green. Boarding #5 is #6 Hcp 3 Par 5 at 500yds that has grassy waste area 130yds out from the green that forces a choice on that 2nd shot. The #7 380yd Par 4 has its green protected in the front by three (3) sand traps. The #9 is a straightaway 390yd Par 4 to a flat green that has four (4) traps to challenge that approach shot. Enjoyed playing here today and shooting 38 w/15putts on this nice open treelined course. Back 9 looked the same as #1 & #9 as being mostly flat and "Side by Side" layout.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area
Condition of Course, Pace of Play, Ambiance, No Houses on Course
