2019.0. "Membership in Country Clubs in Maynard (Metro-West Area)" by POWDML::PALMER_JR () Thu Jun 08 1995 16:45

    I have recently relocated to the Boston Metro-West area and am looking
    to join a Private Country Club.  I moved fron the North Carolina area
    and am a very avid golfer.  I would appreciate any information on
    joining a club in the Metro area within 30 miles or so of Maynard.
    
                                                       Thanks,
                                                         Bob

2019.1	Couple of Privat/Semi Private Clubs	MAL009::MCNAMARA		`Fri Jun 09 1995 12:20`	5
	Two private courses that you may not have to be put on a waiting list are Sterling Country Club in Sterling, Ma. and the Marlboro Country Club in Marlboro (semi-private). Most of the better private clubs have waiting list or cost big bucks, ie The International in Bolton, or Nashawtuc in Concord.
2019.2	Metro-North...	RANGER::GORCZYCA	So, what's ya point?	`Fri Jun 09 1995 13:42`	5
	Depending on where you are located in the "metro-Boston" area, Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua (on Spitbrook Rd...1/2 mile from ZK...) might be an option. John
2019.3	Vesper CC	DPE1::LEMAIRE		`Fri Jun 09 1995 14:55`	13
	Also, I heard recently that Vesper CC in Tyngsboro MA no longer has a waiting list for membership. It is private and the fees are pretty steep, but the course is beautiful and I never see a crowd on it (I live 2 miles from it and run/drive by there all the time). I think initiation is in the $7K - $10K range. Monthly fees are $300 I think - with a $100 - $150/mo restaurant/bar minimum. I think they also have a pool and I'm not sure about tennis too. This info is really second-hand so check with the club if you are interested. Tyngsboro MA is located between Lowell, MA and Nashua, NH. Louise
2019.4	A vote for Sterling	SHRCTR::DAVIS		`Fri Jun 16 1995 17:09`	16
	I would highly recommend Sterling CC. It's an excellent course, in fabulous condition, and more private than Marlboro or Sky Meadow - and a lot cheaper than Vesper. There's about a $7K bond (but you can probably negotiate just about any kind of payment arrangement) and it's around $2100/year, with no restaurant minimum (yet - that may yet be a possibility). It's also strictly golf; no tennis/pool/etc.). You also might find the course reminiscent of some of the Carolina tracks. (Then again, Sky Meadow might remind you of them, too.) Good luck, Tom PS: Last I heard there was a waiting list at Marlboro. Has that changed?
