This course was built in 1926 by Donald Ross and hasn't been altered since. All the fairways are narrow, and some holes feature dogleg fairways. Water hazards (a creek and ponds) come into play on six holes. The small greens are undulating and well bunkered. The signature hole is #17, a 340-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot up a thickly tree-lined fairway and past two large fairway bunkers, then an approach shot to a well-bunkered green. The view from this green overlooks the entire valley. You may only walk this course after 3 PM.

reviewer: Matt Johnson from Fort Worth, Tx USA

Roaring Gap Golf Club is an awesome golf course that is a blast to play. I love playing there but i'm only able to in the summer. It is an awesome getaway and a challenging course for its length. I love the view on the 17th green. The golf pro is very nice and a very good teacher. I would recommend for all of yall to go play this golf course because i promise that you will love it. It is also a very pretty course with deer walking through the fairways and a lot of other creatures. You will remember it for a long time and want to come back and play it again.

Pine Grove Country Club
"a hidden gem"
This course is a great blend of old and new, and calls for skilled shotmaking throughout the round. Originally opened around the turn of the century, the older holes are generally narrow, lined with huge pines, and have small, but accessible greens. The newer holes climb Iron Mountain, (take a cart!) and are defined in large part by elevation changes which require a 2-3 club adjustment. These greens are much larger, but more difficult to read and putt due to the mountain topography. All of the par 5's are reachable for the stronger golfers, but three of them are dog-legs which swallow errant drives...grip it and rip it at your own risk. This is a nice course; we play it every summer and have been made to feel very welcome as visitors. The members built a new club house 3 years ago after vandals burned the old one. Nice locker room, bar, dining area and pro shop. I would rate this course at 3 1/2 stars and with only slightly better maintenance and grooming the rating would go to a 4. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you try this course.

Whitney Farms Golf Club
"Tight and Challenging"
This course is a above average golfers dream. Length and contour is a premium. Tree lined fairways, you'd think you're in the Lincoln Tunnel.You need to play smart to score well. The below average golf will have ample oppurtunities to score well on the par 5's and the par 3's. The par 4's ,lets leave those for the big boys. In all, it is good for everyone, at a reasonable price, on a country club setting on a New England landscape.

"1 goofy hole"
I like this golf course, but 1 hole make it less than stellar. Number 12 is a ridiculous 90 degree dogleg that takes away from the rest of the course. Speed of play has been exceptional every time I have played, but that 1 idiotic hole ruins ithe backside. I suggest moving up the box and making it a par 3 or redoing it altogether.

Tannehill National Golf Course
"4 stars"
Tannehill National has got to be one of the best courses in the state. The fairways this past summer looked better than a lot of greens I've seen. From the back tees the course is near perfect. It is pretty much wide open but, there is a creek that comes into play on several holes and the strategically placed ponds can make you pay for a bad tee shot. The greens are fast but they hold shots and roll true .You just can't find bermuda greens that stay as consistent as theirs do.
