| 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. |

| Tewksbury Country Club -- Short course, but well kept course |

This is a great small course to learn on. My wife especially likes playing there, as she is not a strong hitter. The course as mentioned is well kept and the greens always seem to be in good condition. There is only one hole that is up hill, so the course is very walkable. Most holes have some water, but most of the water is to your side, except for a couple of holes. Some holes can be very forgiving once you determine the layout. The price is not to high for 9 holes, but they don't give you a break if you decide to play 18, the price is doubled.
There is also a nice resturant and pub to eat at.
