The New Course

In 1988 the members passed a motion to purchase additional land adjacent to the club to expand and become an 18-hole course. New England based golf course architect Phil Wogan designed the new course. To accommodate the routing of the new holes and maintain consistency between the front 9 and back 9 of the new design it was necessary to plow under the original layout. In May 1991 the new course was opened with great reviews. Since its rebirth it has been the host of the state Mid-Amateur three times and the state Amateur once.

Three sets of tees that range from 4738 from the forward tees to 6650 from the tips give players of all ages and abilities the chance to play from a distance that will suit their game. The course is a par 71 with 4 par 3s and 3 par 5s. The front side often presents players with the opportunity to score well and should be taken advantage of. The backside is considered to be a greater challenge with water coming into play on nearly every shot. It is suggested to bite off only as much as you can handle.

The multiple tees, generous fairways and large receptive greens will provide players of all abilities with the opportunity to score well. Regarded as the best greens in the area they are also considered the most challenging. It is a premium to leave your approach shot on the proper side of the hole. The Wogan design is a true shot makers course that is full of risk and reward. Well placed tee shots on the par 5 10th and 18th holes will give skilful players the prospect of making 3, however, guarded by ponds and bunkers the second shot for either hole is not for the faint of heart.
