The conditions were brutal the day I did. Howling winds and and soaked fairways. Hard to give an honest assessment. I played it as part of a single day tournament back in April. A decent course. Some very cool holes. I can definitely see where it was really cool 100 years ago. But by today’s standards it’s just got a nice location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holes by the water were cool. Short part three right on the water If I recall correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tournament length) 200 yard par 3 over water 175 yard par 3 along water par 4 along water par 5 along water that required a 200+ carry over water driveable par 4 over water was coolest hole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 When we go to Cooperstown we play at the Otsego golf Club, nine hole course, one of the oldest in the country then we play Leatherstocking, there's one hole with an island tee box, 90 degree angle dog leg left, you can hit it 150 yards straight to the fairway all the way to over 300 yards way to the left, I always took an easy route and hit in the middle, the farther your drive the close to the green. They close the course on Induction weekend to the public, only the big names can play that weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf courses must not be off to a great year with all the rainy weekends. 2 months, at least down here pretty much down the tubes. A lot of momentum is built early.

A lot of momentum is built early. Every time it’s halfway decent out, our course seems packed. You can never make up full for bad days but it’s been good to be busy when you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted 18 hours ago Author Share Posted 18 hours ago Strongly recommend Lake Sunapee Country Club if you get the chance. (Played it today) Donald Ross design. Huge fairways. Decent sized greens. Pretty simple track if you are playing well. Hardest hole is definitely the 235+ yd par 3 12th. Which plays up hill. I had to hit a full 3 wood to get up there. And we were playing 1 up from tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted 18 hours ago Author Share Posted 18 hours ago The Oaks Golf Links in Somersworth, NH is a bear of a course. Fastest greens I’ve played this year by far. The course frustrated a lot of good golfers this past Monday. Off the tee, you almost don’t have to hit it over 250 if at all because most fairways run out at that number. It’s real defense are small, well protected greens. It was tough to confidently hit into them when most of them were protected by a bunker in front and a cliff off the back.
