1593.0. "Atlanta or Houston?" by DNEAST::FREEMAN_KEVI (The Squeeky Wheel = Neglect) Wed Sep 16 1992 11:12

    Quick, Quick!  I've an opportunity to attend a PC Maintenance class in
    either Atlanta or San Jose Houston Tx. area and was wondering which
    location would offer the best golfing experience. (cost is a concern
    too)?  Time frame is last week of Nov./first week Dec.

1593.1AtlantaDBSALF::QUINNCrying? There's no crying in baseball!Wed Sep 16 1992 13:395
    I'm sure Atlanta will be a lot cheaper than San Jose.  There are many
    courses within 1/2 drive from the ALF facility (if you drive fast).

1593.2Looks like no golf holiday for me 8^(.DNEAST::FREEMAN_KEVIThe Squeeky Wheel = NeglectMon Oct 12 1992 11:3712
    Well, I've just been told that the course is now available in Andover
    Ma. from Oct26-Oct30 8^(.  Can anyone recommend a good place to go for a
    quick nine in the am. or pm. on those days?  I'll be staying in Andover
    at the Court Yard and attending the class at the Rolling Green.  Did a 
    DIR/TITLE=ANDO and noted the Par Three at the Sheridan (sp), but if
    I've time I'd much prefer to play a real course 8^).  If anyone is
    familiar with any of those hotels, which course would you think to be
    the closest?  I recall reading mention of Trull Brook in other notes in
    here...  Anyone in need of a 2nd, 3rd or 4th let me know, I play to a 
    14 hdcp.

1593.3Hickory Hill or Trull BrookNHASAD::BLAISDELLRick, dtn 264-5414Mon Oct 12 1992 13:4421
    
      Kevin,
    
        Your best bets would be Trull Brook (Tewskbury) or Hickory Hill 
      (Methuen).  Both are nice 18 hole public courses.  Haven't played
      them this year but have always been in good shape in previous
      years.  Both are within 10-15 minutes from the Sheraton.
    
        To Trull Brook head north on Rte 93, Take the River Rd exit
      heading towards Tewskbury (not Lawrence).  Course will be
      mumble mumble (may be about 3) miles on the right hand side.
    
        To Hickory, once again head north on 93, go past rte 495
    interchange and look for the 110 (Dracut) exit shortly after.  
    Look for the rte 113 (dracut) sign after going under 93 and
    follow 113 for a mile or 2.  Look for the Hickory sign on your
    left.
    
    Good luck

1593.42nd for Trull BrookTRACTR::OSBORNEMon Oct 12 1992 14:409
    Kevin, I can second Rick's suggestions.  Trull Brook, just played last
    week, was in great shape.  They just aireated the front nine plus the
    eighteenth but they still putted true.  The course in very hilly but
    walkable.  I did so I think anyone could.  Shot an 85 and had never
    played the course before.

    P.S. The course is 4+ miles from the 93 exit.
