This course features 36 holes, is semi-private, incredibly affordable and hosts a number of major events for the New Hampshire and New England section.
Most notably in our personal history, Cam took his first PAT here about 10 years ago now. Did he pass? No. Did he drink a tall twisted tea before the front and back 18 to calm some nerves? Yes. Looking back, that's a ridiculous decision to make. But on TOP of that, I showed up with shorts on, not knowing that I needed to wear pants in any PAT or professional tournament. The shop didn't sell pants, and I was running low on options. I ended up just asking all of the incoming players if anybody had extra pants to wear, and ended up borrowing a pair of pants from a guy.
Moving onto the PAT, I was set to pass with about 4 holes left, and on the difficult 17th hole I 4 putted to make me need a par on the last hole. Inevitably, I made 5 and missed the 36 hole passing line by 1 measly shot. A humbling experience that taught me to be a lot about preparation, execution, and who I am under pressure. I had a lot to work on.
Moving onto the courses, covered bridges, Jurassic Park, flowing rivers and a relatively open set of courses are met with some difficult changes in elevation on a few holes, and runoff areas that make the course difficult with some challenging green features.
Overall, this course is a great place to learn, challenge yourself all for an affordable rate.
