| Country Club of Billerica -- New design poor, operation run poorly... |
| Review by: Golf Pro |
The scenery is nice and price is about average for a public course, but here's a few pet peaves:
- The course was redesigned a few years back to try to squeeze a few more stokes onto par by making it a par 69 from the original 66. The results were in my estimation, terrible. They basically redesignated two long par 4's into short par fives, combined to par 3's into a par 4, and added a 50 yard new par 3.
- The proshop is run extremely unprofessionally by retirees and kids under 16. I've also witnessed the "owner" hanging around and acting like a yahoo. Let's put it this way, not your typically golf links proprietor!
- The greens are colored during the summer with some bluish dye that gets all over your clothes, clubs, and ball. I suspect it covers up the burned out yellow spots on the greens.
- Finally, I've never seen greens like the ones at this place. They are kept long and are, by far, the slowest I've ever encountered. I've literally seen playing partners skull a wedge from 60 yards and it doesn't even roll off the green. Weird. |

Amherst is not the best value in the area but is a very pleasant "play". Easy to walk and short - a round doesn't take long on a weekday. Conditions are generally good but a couple of fairways stay wet well into spring. |
