549.0. "Hillsborough NH: any courses available?" by GIAMEM::MACKINNON () Mon Mar 13 1989 15:57

    
    Hi
    
    
    I will be spending a week in Hillsborough NH the last week in March.
    I was wondering if anyone knows of any courses in that area that
    will be open then?  Any help is appreciated!!!
    
    Thanks,

549.1WORDS::NISKALAAhh, baseball season finally arrivesTue Mar 14 1989 11:082
    	Brentwood in Keene might be open, try a call to them. It should
    be less than an hour away from Hillsboro.

    	Michelle,
    
    	There is a golf course in Hillsborough N.H.  I've seen the 
    	entrance about a 1/4 mile west of the center of town on Rt.
    	9 ?.
    
    	As far as what kind of course it is, I can't say.  if you 
    	want me to dig, I can find out.  My wife usually makes a
    	trip to Hillsborough twice a week.

    The name of the course is Angus Lea - 9 holes but I've never played it.

    I played Angus Lea a couple years ago... not overly challenging,
    but it had its good points.  I couldn't try, off the top of my head,
    to recap the features of the course.
    
    Greens fees, if I remember right, were pretty low.

549.5I play Angus LeaRITA::HYDEHave Rdb Manuals -- Will TravelFri Mar 17 1989 13:3218
Angus Lea is my primary golf course.  That's because I live in Weare, 
NH.

Angus Lea is a very short course, 6 par 4's and 3 par 3's.  I was told 
it's named after the breed of cows who lived there before the pasture 
was converted to a golf course.  The course is rarely crowded.  The 
people who own it are incredibly friendly.  The golfers are more polite 
and more considerate than other courses I play.  It's a laid-back golf 
course and I enjoy it that way.

I'm not sure when they open.  You can call information and get their 
number.  If they're open when you're there and if I'm around, maybe we 
can play a round.  Hillsborough also has an excellent pizza place, 
Foodee's Pizza.  There's no smoking allowed and they have a number of 
natural grain crusts, etc.
