1898.0. "Hillcrest CC in Leicester Ma????" by STORK::DEERY () Fri May 20 1994 13:34

    
    I've got an American Cancer Society golf pass. One of the
    courses that I can play is Hillcrest Country Club in Leicester
    Mass. I was wondering if anyone from this notesfile has ever 
    played there? If you have would you be kind enough to share 
    you thoughts on the course?
    
    thanks,

    Well I'll admit I've played there a handful of times.
    
    It's definetly what you'd call a Hacker's Course.
    
    there was a real problem last year with very,very little grass on
    the hard fairways allowing you to hit driver, 5 iron on the 2 par 5's
    and also its only 12 holes and beware of 8 and 11 they use mats for
    tees!
    
    
    But you won't find friendlier people and a nice little 13th hole bar
    
    Hole	Par
    1		5 (out of bounds the whole lenght on right)
    2		4 (plays like a long 3)
    3		3 (tough little green , watch the traps)
    4		4 (tough hole, dogleg left and the hole slopes left)
    5		5 (straight and flat)
    6		4 (grass and sand bunkers)
    7		3 (strange little par 3)
    8		4 (slopes to the right, house rule is if you roll out on
                   the right free drop)
    9		3 (easy short hole)
    10		4 (pond on right on your drive)
    11		3 (105 yd , watch out for all of the overhanging trees)
    12		4 (woods left , swamp line right)
    
    then you play 1-6 over
    
    slope 103
    rating 67
    
    perfect place to bring beginners 
    last year weekends after 2:30 $12 all you can play with cart! 
    (now you cant beat that anywhere!)
