1995.0. "Any courses open in Central Ma???" by STRATA::SZEWCZYK () Mon Mar 13 1995 00:45

    Hi Folks,,,,
    
        I don't know about you,,,but with the weather getting warmer i'm
        getting the golf bug!!!
    
        Does anyone know if Saddle Hill or Holden Hills is plan on opening
        soon?
        Is anyone at all open in the Central Ma.area?
    
                                                             ,,,,,,,Vic

	Holden Hills is one of the wettest courses around.  Probably won't
	open for a few weeks at least.  I went by Hillcrest yesterday and
	several people were out hitting balls, then my wife read in the paper
	that it's on the auction block - forclosed by the bank.  Green Hill
	is usually one of the first to open in central Mass.

    	As long as there aren't temporary greens. They will charge you the
    full price. Why discount? After 4 months of not playing. They will have
    plenty of people willing to chaulk up the full fee.

1995.6Easton CCSTRATA::SZEWCZYKSun Mar 19 1995 03:2011
    Hi Guy's,,,,
    
       We ended up going to Easton CC and had a great time!!!
       You take the Rayhem exit off Rte 495 and follow Rte 138 for about 
       4 miles,,and take a left on Purchase St.
    
       It was only 14 dollars,,,what a deal. They had 4 temporary greens.
       I'd try it if you have time.  We called Stow and they wanted 25$$
       It was worth the ride!!!
    
                                                         ,,,,,,,,Vic   
1995.7Holden Hills openASDG::TREMBLAYHyperlinked to CyberspaceMon Mar 27 1995 12:255
	Holden Hills opened last week.  I played this past weekend and was
	amazed.  No temporary greens although the putting was a little bumpy.
	The course is very dry for this time of year.  They're already letting
	carts out.

1995.8USPMLO::DESROCHERSMine's made outta unobtainium!Mon Mar 27 1995 13:4113
    
    	Wachusetts opened Saturday.  Only temp in the old #2 (the course
    	has been rerouted.  The old 12th is the 1st and the pro shop is
    	right there).
    
    	Also, they've cut tons of trees.  I personally like a course that
    	has its holes surrounded by trees.  Now, you can see other holes.
    
    	I've heard that Stowe North cut hundreds of trees too.  Has
    	anyone played there yet?

1995.9Somebody has a LOT of fire wood!STOWOA::ODIAZOctavio, MCS/SPSMon Mar 27 1995 18:1115
    Re:   <<< Note 1995.8 by USPMLO::DESROCHERS "Mine's made outta unobtainium!" >>>

    I played Stow North yesterday.  Yes, they cut down tons of trees, but
    in this case for  the better.  They were cut down to allow the sun to
    get to dark areas, primarily  at  the  green and tee areas, where the
    lack of sun and the traffic  made  very  difficult for grass to grow.
    They have also extended some tees, primarily  at  the  7th  hole, and
    added/reshaped bunkers on the 4th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 16th and 17th.
    Similar, but not as externsive work has being  going  on in the South
    course.

    North had only one temp, the 4th.  As in most  courses,  they haven't
    roled the greens yet and they are very bumpy. It is relatively dry.
