This ranking could apply to either the North or the South Course. It's sort of been a secret my golfing friends and I like to have, but the truth is there's no more enjoyable place to spend a totally relaxing day golfing than Bretwood. Price, (though a great value), conditions, challenge, etc. don't seem to come into play as much as the sheer pleasure of being there. Stand in any spot and rotate 360 degrees and a smile will come to your face. Totally pressure free play. My favorite place to go. (I live about 50 miles away and make the trip 3-4 times a year). Have played about 55 different New England courses over the years, and when my golfing starts to frustrate me, I just return to Bretwood and get rejuvenated.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Layout, Price, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Staff
