410.0. "golf coarses in Franklin MA area?" by ANT::ALFORD () Tue Oct 04 1988 09:36

	HELP!

	Can anyone tell me what are some of the good public or (affordable)
	private golf coarses there are in the Franklin Mass area? Say,
	anywhere with in a 30 mile radius of Franklin. Or any suggestion,
	where a published list is available for southern MA and northern RI.


						Thanks

    Bruce, Rehobeth C.C. Ma. is a good test from the back tees, 7000 yards.
    North Kingston G. C. in R. I. is nice along with Exceter C.C. R.I.
    also. Blackstone C.C. in Blackstone, Ma. is short but tricky, although
    I have never played it. Heather Hill in Plainville, Ma is in tough
    shape I hear. Give me a call (DTN 273-5387) if you plan to play.
    I live in Sharon, halfway between Boston and Providence and do not
    need much of an excuse to play.
410.3Some moreMANANA::HUSTONTue Oct 04 1988 13:5822
    
    Some more are:
    
    Glen Ellen (Millis) -- Fairly long but open. Very popular place
    for tournaments, office outings etc. Call before going. They use
    to have a deal (2 years ago), on Monday it was $10 for 18 holes
    and a cart.                                       
    
    Hopedale CC : Semi private, I believe anyone can play during the
    week or late on weekends.
    
    Franklin -- Private, but rumor was they were in trouble finacially,
    so a call may get you on.
    
    There is also one next to Holliston High school, par 66, but not
    bad to kill a couple hours.
    
    Milford also has a public course, don't remember the name.  You
    could also look in the yellow pages, they usually list most of the
    courses in the area.

    Re:< Note 410.0 by ANT::ALFORD >

    Bruce,
    
    I haven't played any courses in southern MA, but  I bought at the pro
    shop of Stow Acres C.C.  a booklet titled:
    
    "A Guide to Massachusetts' Golf Courses"
    
    which lists  300-400  courses,  including  for  most  of  them phone,
    address, # holes,  par,  rating,  yardage  and  facilities available.
    Also if it is private, semiprivate or public.
    
    I think I payed $4 or $5 for it.
410.5FRANKLIN is as FRANKLIN was!OURVAX::GLASSTue Oct 11 1988 12:525
    Hi,
    My advice is to go for Franklin Country Club, a course that was
    laid out in 1899 and plays as a true challenge to all aspects of
    your game.

    I believe that Franklin CC use to be only a 9 hole course.
    They added another 9 about 15-20 years ago. (I think).

410.7Franklin area DEC Leagues ??INDEV1::GSMITHI need two of everythingFri Apr 10 1992 11:379
    
    	Does anyone know if any leagues exist in the FXO area? I'd
    	like to join as a regular or a substitute. I posted a note
    	in the league topic, but thought I'd try here also.
    
    		thanks for any information.
