Great and Challenging Course!

I would recommend playing this course if you need some work on your iron play. It’s an extremely beautiful and visually stunning course, but the fairways are tight and the holes are pretty narrow. Course conditions were very good considering the time we played; right after rain and even during rain and it wasn’t water logged. Course must drain well, just a few dead spots on the greens, nothing to dissuade you from playing here.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t play this course as a beginner but it’s a wonderful challenge for seasoned golfers. This is one of the nicer courses in MA and definitely worth the price; keep up the good work Butternut!

Too narrow

I really want to like this course. If it was 25 yards wider per hole it would be awesome. It is incredibly tight with some tee boxes that were not in fair positions from the blue tees. It did have some areas under repair (even on multiple greens) and water standing in the fairways after a heavy rain the night before. Not worth my time but could see others enjoying it, especially from the senior tees.

Monde’s experience

Generally speaking, course is good and challenging. However, the course play conditions were not up to my expectations. Too much leaves on course and as badly as it was, all over the Greens.
Everything else is fair!

New England Treasure

This golf course should be in a magazine for “Must Play” in the Autumn season. It is picturesque & was just stunning landscapes the day we played. The course was cleared for play with leaves blown & verdant green. It was like summer temps and Fall foliage. Heaven!

Delightful but Challenging

I'd heard a fair bit of the challenge of this course before arriving, so I knew this to be one of the hardest golf courses in Massachusetts.

There are many exciting holes, but the challenge is real. I say, "Fair Challenge" since this course is always right in front of you. no bad surprises.

There's lots of real water in play, a mix of distances, and a host of options off the tee.

Specifically, the 8th hole, a driveable par 4, should be a destination hole for any true new england golfer! Make sure you chose the back tees on this one and hit over water!

The staff working the course deserve kudos as they've managed the course brilliantly and cut down bushes and trees in normal "through areas" so you can usually find poorly hit tee shots.

Narrow and Slow

This place is pure bowling alley golf. Incredibly narrow and tree lined on every hole. Constant lost balls and players in the wrong fairway in every group leads to a maddening pace of play. Walked off after 4:20 after completing the 14th hole. Conditions were decent despite being wet, greens were soft and slow but well maintained. The 10th hole is one of the dumbest designs in the state. 600 yards for no reason with a blind approach guarded by water.
