928.0. "New Course - Townsend, MA" by CURIE::BBARRY (Coolidge,Klein,Peete) Fri Apr 27 1990 19:19

	The new course in Townsend, MA is called Northern Spy Country Club.
	The layout looks to be pretty challenging and balanced for hookers and
	slicers(i.e. a dogleg left, a dogleg right, lateral water left, lateral 
	water right).  The course is expected to open the second week of July.  
	Facilities include:

		18 hole championship course
		Practice Range
		Full Service 19th hole(food & Alcohol)
		Lockers and Showers
		Pro Shop 
		Banquet Facilities
		Golf Carts

	The owners are planning to have a frequent players club.  The 
	frequent players club will be $750/year and if you sign up for 1991
	the remainder of 1990 will be included for free.  The frequent players 
	club will include:

		Private Locker and use of showers
		Preferential Tee Times
		Pro Shop Discounts
		USGA Handicap
		Players Tournaments

	This is a frequent players club, NOT a country club, so golfing fees	
	are additional.  To me the $750 is pretty steep.

	The last time I stopped by was in early April.  At that time the 
	Clubhouse exterior was complete.  Most of the holes were layed out
	and the grass was coming in.

	IF you need more information call 508-443-7113.  It is best to call 
	on a Tuesday or Thursday, because this is the developers home office.
	The permanent course number will be 508-597-3300.

The new course in Townsend Ma. really has opened !

The course is called Townsend Ridge. I haven't been out to see it yet but
what I've heard is that it's 18 holes, $24 weekdays, $30 weekends. The
grand opening was earlier this week. Have no idea of conditions or amenities.

928.3Some comments from a colleagueSTOWOA::tavo.ogo.dec.com::ODIAZOctavio DiazTue May 28 1996 17:058
Comments from someone here in OGO who played it this weekend:

Challenging layout, need to play the ball
Greens are still very young, need to bang the he** out to get to the hole
He won't go back until it is a bit more mature
Force to ride (mid $40's including cart)

FWIW, Tavo

re; forced to ride.....  I think after 3:00 you don't have to.

directions;

The course is located behind Townsend Ford right off Rt. 119.

Turn onto the road next to the Chinese restaurant (Yee's Village).
