1064.0. "Where to play in Boston ?" by CGOO01::BCOMEAU () Tue Aug 28 1990 21:28

    Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
    
    My name is Bruce Comeau and I am a recent new-hire with Digital.
    
    I will be travelling to Boston (Boylston to be exact) on September
    23 and will be staying until October 5 for CSST training.  I am an avid
    golfer with a 7 handicap and I am a member of a private golf club
    in Edmonton. I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest a golf
    course that I may be able to play on the weekend of Sept. 29 and
    30th and maybe an estimate on the green fees.
    
    The tougher the course, the better.
    
    Thanks.

     The closest decent one is Wachusett in West Boylston. A Donald Ross
    layout, it is wooded and tight. Weekend afternoons are generally less
    busy (after 2pm) and green fees are 25-30 $.
     If you want to drive 1 hr. 15 min., you can play Crumpin-Fox, which is
    the highest rated (in terms of difficulty) course in the state. Call
    them too for tee times (413 648-9101), and tell 'em I sent you. I've
    been a member for quite a few years. Check the directory here for the
    Crumpin-Fox note; we've had a lot of DEC guys go there for punishment.
    If I remember correctly, we had a 6 hcp shoot 86 and a 5 hcp shoot 102.

1064.2 Play the FOX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!RAYBOK::COOPERMAD HACKERWed Aug 29 1990 19:457
         As a survivor of Crumpin-Fox and also an out-of-stater
    I would reccommend taking the drive to the Fox. We played it
    from the blacks (way back !!!!!) and it was the sternest test
    I have ever encountered. Also a very scenic course. Well worth
    the drive !!!!!!!!!!!!
