160.0. "Help needed for beginners in Lowell/Nashua area" by AMUR::MA_HASEGAWA (Masami Hasegawa, ZK03/4-Z28) Wed Oct 28 1987 04:16

    My wife and I have just relocated to the US, and we plan to play
    golf during our stay here (one year). We live in Lowell, MA, but
    I work in ZK. I played some golf before, but my wife wants to pick
    up the game.
    
    Can anyone suggest any good golf courses for beginners near
    Lowell/Nashua area? If there is a driving range with a pro, we might
    be interested in taking some lessons. If they have lighting for
    night, it would be even better.
    
    I appreciate any suggestions. thank you in advance.

160.1Green Meadows #1, Hudson, NHDICKNS::F_MCGOWANThu Oct 29 1987 12:3911
    The number 1 course in Hudson, NH (Green Meadows) is a nice course,
    not too hard for a beginner (stay away from number 2 course, which
    is tougher). There is a driving range also, but it's not lighted.
    Don't know if there's a pro there. Someone at the course can probably
    suggest a teacher. Too bad you live so far from Wayland and Stow,
    Mass: I'd recommend a guy named Dave Heuser, who teaches at those
    courses. Good luck. If the weather holds, you can probably get in
    a round or two before winter sets in.

    There are two courses in Mass. near Lowell that you could try:
    1)Country Club of Billerica, 667-8061, 9 holes, located just out of 
    	Billerica Center, Golf pro is Barry Bruce, very good with beginners (and
    	others).  Driving range but not lit at night.  Course is somewhat
    	 narrow with trouble to sides.  Worth a shot.....or two....
    2)Apple Country Club, Chelmsford, 256-8373.  Open 9 holer, has pro
    	but no range.  Give it a try sometime....not a bad little course
    	off Rte. 27

    	There is also the Tyngsboro course on the east side of the river
    in tynsgboro.  It is I believe $8 for nine and $12 for 18.  The
    owner was doing some redesign of a couple of holes last time I was
    there.
