764.0. "Comments on Grand View?" by 5WOOD::FITZPATRICK (Today my jurisdiction ends here.) Mon Sep 18 1989 21:43

    Hi Gang,
    
    	A buddy of mine is coming to visit this weekend, and since I just
    moved to Leominster, I was thinking of taking him to play Grand View. 
    I've never played there, and was wondering if anyone might be able to
    tell me what I'm in for, or if I should think of playing somewhere
    else.  If it makes any difference, we're planning to go Sunday morning,
    not-too-early.
    
    Thanks,
    -Tom

764.1	Not bad but...	LEVERS::LENEHAN		`Mon Sep 18 1989 22:59`	14
	The front nine is wide open and not very interesting. The back nine is well layed out and alot of fun. Reason is there are trees on the back nine that tighten things up. The price is right. But... if I was to have a choice I'd play Westminster CC , it's about 15 minutes from Leominster. Much more challenging and all around better conditions, layout etc. The back nine at Westminster is VERY interesting/fun. The front is tough, 8 par fours in a row... it tends to wear on you with the lack of variety. But the back nine makes up for any discomfort! Have fun... go to Westminster, Walt
764.2	Grandview Country Club	DSTEG2::SOUZA	Personal Name Provide Upon Request	`Tue Sep 19 1989 13:07`	15
	Also Being from Leominster, and having a limited golf budget. I Play Grandview quite offen. What was said in the previous reply is true. The front is wide open and (YAAAWN....) Excuse me. a little on the boring side. The good news is that you don't need a tee time. Just show up and put your name on the board by the first tee. The bad news is that you can't get a tee time and you could end up waiting an hour and a half to play. FYI the best time to play on Sundays is before 7:00. Anytime after 7:30 expect a long wait. (atleast an hour during the summer, maybe less now) If your not there by 7:30, wait untill after 9:30. Have Fun Steve
764.3	Problem with Westminster	LEVERS::LENEHAN		`Tue Sep 19 1989 19:11`	9
	One thing that will be a problem at Westminster... the members will be teeing off until noon or thereabouts, on weekends. I guess your best bet would be to get to Grandview early as .2 stated, and hope you won't have to wait too long. good luck, Walt
764.4	Grand View is ok.	ASABET::FENTON		`Wed Sep 20 1989 20:46`	2
	Great course for the $ but don't bother renting a golf cart!

	RE .-1 (Great course for the $ but don't bother renting a golf cart!) ??? Why are you advising against renting a golf cart for this particular course? Steve
764.6		CLSTR1::VARLEY	The Skoal Bandit	`Thu Sep 21 1989 12:36`	6
	The best course in that area is probably Gardner. GREAT greens, but busy! Call ist. --Jack

No replies AUGGIE::WRIGHT 6 lines 28-SEP-1989 13:20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another nice course in the Leominster area is Wachuset golf course.About 15 minutes from Leominster off of rt12.It's a hard and long course but kept up very nicely. OH it is in Boylston, no tee times either but a long wait if you get after 7:30am Good Luck
