364.0. "New SNH Hackers!" by CRAZY8::RETZEL () Tue Aug 16 1988 17:44

    Hi,
    	I am new to this conference and to the Southern New Hampshire
    area.  My boyfriend and I both golf and we are anxious to get hacking!
    I need to know some good courses in the area and approximate prices
    for non-members!
    
    Thanks,
    Dawn

    	Hi Dawn,
    
    	Welcome to the conference and to the area.
    
    	I don't know what the cost is for greens fees on these courses,
    	but here is a list of a few in the area.
    
    	Greenmedow (sp) in Hudson, NH. They have 2 18 hole courses...
    
    	Pine Acres in Pelham, NH. A short 9 hole course.
    
    	Amherst CC in Amherst, NH. 18 hole course.
    
    	Charmingfare Links in Candia, NH. 18 hole course.
    
    	Hickory Hill in Methuen, Mass. 18 hole course.
    
    	Hoodkroft CC in Derry, NH. A tough 9 hole course (lots of water).
    
    	Skyview in Nashua, NH. Right now 9 holes and expensive (going
    	private).
    
    	Crystal CC in Haverhill, Mass. 18 I think...
    
    
    	Well, this is a start and I am sure that there will be more
    	replies...
    
    	Enjoy

364.2some prices and a couple more coursesWORDS::NISKALAOnly got one oar in the water...Wed Aug 17 1988 09:3151
    	Going from memory, these are prices I remember.
    
    	> Greenmeadow in Hudson, NH. They have 2 18 hole courses...
    	
    	 Weekend rates at Greenmeadows is $20 for 18. Carts extra.
    
    	> Pine Acres in Pelham, NH. A short 9 hole course.
    
    	 It's Pine Valley, not Acres and it was $8 for nine holes on
    	a weekday. Never played there on a weekend.
    
    	> Amherst CC in Amherst, NH. 18 hole course.
    
    	 $9 weekday 9 holes, $14.50 for 18. Weekend is $20 for 18 holes.
    
    	> Charmingfare Links in Candia, NH. 18 hole course.
    
    	 Been a while since I played there.
    
    	> Hickory Hill in Methuen, Mass. 18 hole course.
    	
    	 Never had the pleasure.
    
    	> Hoodkroft CC in Derry, NH. A tough 9 hole course (lots of water).
    
    	 Been quite a while since there, too. They had vandals destroy
    	2 greens there about a month ago. Tore it up with carts at night
    	and had to play to temp greens.

       	> Skyview in Nashua, NH. Right now 9 holes and expensive (going
    	private).
    
    	 I heard it was $17 on weekdays for 9 holes, this includes the
    	cart which is mandatory.

       	> Crystal CC in Haverhill, Mass. 18 I think...
    
    	 Crystal Springs is 18 holes. On a weekend it is $8 for nine
    	and $14 I think for 18.

    
    	 Tory Pines in Francestown is not to far to travel to. It is
    	just past Crotched Mt. ski area. There are 18 holes and are
    	lengthening the course to close to 7100 yards.

    	 Buckmeadow is nine holes and is located in Amherst, just a
    stones throw from ACC.
    
    	 Whip-poor-will is ? holes and is in Hudson right near Alvirne
    High School.
364.3More on some of these..TINMAN::SUTTONI can't get used to this lifestyle.Fri Aug 19 1988 10:5527
    
       >> Greenmeadow in Hudson, NH. They have 2 18 hole courses...
    	
       >  Weekend rates at Greenmeadows is $20 for 18. Carts extra.

       Weekdays, $13 for 18, carts $18 ($2 rebate when you turn in
       the key)
        
       >> Skyview in Nashua, NH. Right now 9 holes and expensive (going
       >> private).
    
       >  I heard it was $17 on weekdays for 9 holes, this includes the
       >  cart which is mandatory.
       
       It's Sky Meadow.  $20 weekdays for 18, cart $18 (so, split between
       2 people, it's $29 each).  Make tee times.  "Proper dress" required.
       
       > Whip-poor-will is ? holes and is in Hudson right near Alvirne
       > High School. 

       Whip-Poor-Will is 9 holes, but I can't remember the fees..
    
       There's Londonderry CC (off NH Rt 128), but I've never played
       there.  No idea on the number of holes or fees.

364.5Londonderry CCBAGELS::MATSISThu Oct 27 1988 15:217
    Londonderry CC is 9 holes.  $7. on the Weekend and $6. during the
    week.
    
    They are building an additional 9 holes now.  
    
    Par 3 course (maybe 1 or 2 par 4's).
                                      
364.6more on Londonderry CC16BITS::ARMSTRONGThu Apr 13 1989 13:5115
    The second 9 holes is still not ready at Londonderry CC. The present
    9 are all par-3 holes. The longest hole for the men is somewhere
    around 200 yards; for the women, longest hole is 160 yards. It's
    a very small course but not without challenge.
    
    Prices generally go up .50/9-holes each year. This year I think
    greens fees are $6.50/9, $13.00/18 during the week--which I think
    is rather steep for such a small course. I don't recall the exact
    rate on the weekend, but, of course, it's higher. I believe they
    open this weekend--the are having an open house this Saturday
    April 15 with DJ and buffet (7-12, I think).
    
    If you are just starting out, Londonderry is a great course--short
    holes so you don't have to worry about hitting the ball real far
    and many times before you even get to the green.
