1223.0. "New Ftichburg driving range" by GIAMEM::DSTEWART () Thu May 02 1991 12:54

    			IT'S OPENING THIS WEEKEND
    
    	I just heard that the new driving range in Fitchburg is
    opening this weekend.  Has anyone else heard the same.
    It is located at the old ARN-HOW farm off of Ashby State Rd.
    I have been following the development and it seems to be a 
    pretty nice place, snack bar, eventually sand traps and putting
    green.

I know Fitchburg is a long way from Kimballs, but does anyone
know if the Kimballs driving range is open ???

And if so, what hours ?


Thanks..

Jim
1223.2Kimballs isn't open this year (yet)LATVMS::RASPUZZIMichael Raspuzzi - LAT/VMS EngineeringFri Mar 27 1992 15:469
    Kimballs isn't open yet.  I'm patiently waiting since it is only about
    a 10 minute walk from my office to the mats.
    
    I suspect they will be open the first or second week in April depending
    on the weather.  I'm not sure of their hours.  I think they close at
    sunset but I could be wrong (I remember seeing big lights there last
    year).

1223.3FITCHBURG RANGEMRKTNG::WHITTENDavid Whitten @TTBFri Mar 27 1992 17:102
    Have you checked out the range that opened in Fitchburg last year?  I
    think it is called Hayward Acres, just off Rte 31 I think.
1223.4It's openMYOSPY::LORTIEFri Mar 27 1992 23:383
    I have not tried the range, but I have seen a sign that it is open.
    
    
1223.5New range in SterlingBUSY::PEASLEETue Mar 31 1992 16:155
    I noticed that there's a new driving range a few blocks Sterling CC, on
    the main road across from the turn to the golf course. It's named
    Sterling-Chocksett and looks like they've installed lights. Does anyone
    have more info?

1223.6an old report on the Fitchburg rangeMILPND::STUARTTue Mar 31 1992 17:2511
    
    I went to the range in Fitchburg once last year and was not all
    that impressed. You tee off from elevated tees down into an old
    cow pasture. Many balls disappeared into the muck. It also looked
    like they had Stows rejects for balls ! It looked as though there
    was some land under construction but not sure what they are putting
    there. I'll probably go back since it's close to the house and I
    don't worry about bringing the kids there !

cool out there but it was nice to swing again.

1223.11Pitch and putt at Kimballs?CSLALL::WEWINGMon Oct 05 1992 16:407
    is kimballs putting in a pitch and putt course in.
    it sure looks like it.  if so, how many holes? when
    are they going to open? etc.  it looks like they are
    pushing to get it done before winter.  i assume they
    won't be opne in the winter.

1223.129 Hole Pitch & PuttAKOCOA::MULLINMon Oct 05 1992 23:528
    I understand that it will be a 9 hole pitch & putt. They are indeed
    trying to finish late this fall and are scheduled to be open next
    spring.
    
    Good way to get the short game in shape - especially early next season.
    
    Hope my info is good.
    
1223.13good thing DSG is close to Kimballs too ;-)ROYALT::RASPUZZIMichael Raspuzzi - LAT Engineering et alTue Oct 06 1992 01:478
    One day while at Kimball's, I kiddingly suggested that they put in a
    par 3 course of some sort since they had all kinds of room.  At the
    time, I worked in LKG and never trekked down the road passed the ice
    cream stand.  The woman who works in the booth at the driving range
    told me what .12 has written - they are putting in a 9 hole pitch and
    putt course and would like to be open in the spring.
