Whenever I have a golf guest from outside New England come, I take them to Bretwood. The covered bridges, surrounding hills and river meandering through both the South and North course make this the quintessential New England course to play. And when you factor in very reasonable greens fees and the well-maintained, interesting course layouts on both the South and North courses, you can't go wrong. It seems better laid out from the back tees, but the forward tees still make it a somewhat forgiving but challenging course. Since there are no refreshment carts, I'd suggest bringing your own beverages. I play this course about 20 times a year and really appreciate the friendly, non-pretentious attitude of the players I've met there.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
