| 758.1 | Nice spot | FSHQA1::JPALMASON | | Fri Sep 15 1989 11:16 | 10 |
| We are new to the sport, but have played Wang twice this summer.
I don't have much to compare it to, but we think it is a nice
course. The only drawback is the second and third holes, which
are like climbing Mt. Everest...twice! The swimming pool is gorgeous,
but I don't know if that is open to non-Wang people. There is also
a driving range, in need of new astroturf teeing areas, volleyball
area, tennis courts and funtion rooms.

| 758.4 | Can non-employees/non-guests play? | SPCTRM::GORCZYCA | | Mon Sep 18 1989 09:37 | 19 |
| RE: .0,.1
Maybe I'm a bit naive, but...
When you played at the Wang C.C. were you there as a guest of a Wang employee
or is there a way for non-employees to play too???
If there as a non-guest, could you provide some specifics like:
a) when can a non-employee/non-guest play?
b) greens fees?
c) anything else I should know?
I'm looking to play a quick 9 BEFORE work (@6:20 these days) and Groton would
be REAL convenient!
Thanks,
John

| re .4
My experience playing Wang has only been on weekends. Summer
before last we just showed up and didn't have any trouble getting
on. This year they appeared to be a little more strict and told
us to call ahead for a Tee time. Believe the greens fees are something
like $10 for 9 holes, $16 for 18. Carts are $8 for 9 and $16 for
18 and you don't need to have a Wang sponsor to play. Pack your
hiking boots; you'll need them on the first 3 holes.
PS None of the other facilities - pool, lockers etc - were available
to non guests.

| 758.6 | Wang C.C goes public | DECSVC::CARBONE | | Mon Sep 18 1989 11:14 | 9 |
| re.4
As of last year, I believe, Wang C.C went public. Anyonre can play
at anytime. Greens fees are $7.00 for 9 holes and you are probably
better of calling ahead for a tee time justto make sure. It sometimes
gets a lot of play early morning and evening. Overall not too bad
a course, I hope you like big hills and small greens.

| I just rode by there the other day and the sign now says "Groton
CC". Anyone know who bought it? I'll bet the green fees will be
considerably higher now.

I believe the town of Groton recently purchased the country
club from Wang for $2 million. They first sold it to Wang
back in 1982.

" A Country Club? Wang Gets Rid of It "
(The Boston Globe, 12/13/89, PP:95)
Wang will pass papers Friday on the Wang Country Club in Groton, a
nine-hole, 120-acre golf club that the troubled company is selling to
the town for $2 million. Wang bought the former Groton Country Club in
1982.
