Best Ross Courses in Boston

[Ian Andrew]

Walked Cohassett last week.
The start is great with an amazing opener.
It definately loses steam when you cross the road.
But the remaining 8 holes after you cross back is quite something with many excellent long and short holes.
Worth a visit.

didn't they just complete a project to help with drainage in that area near the train?  used to be that always resembled a sponge.

Pat,

You are right, it is 17. They have taken out some trees, but unfortunately it is still not a skyline green. I have seen balls run over that green down onto the fairway of 13, which is about 40 feet behind it.

They have been doing a good job of removing trees. Hopefully those will go soon as well.

John,

Has there been any effort to revitalize or reintroduce the Ross style to some of the bland holes created by the Rt 2 ROW ?

When was the last time you played it?  Holes 7 and 8, which play up and down a steep 30-foot hill, feel a lot like the original Ross holes. In my opinion, it is really only holes 5, 6, and 9 that feel out of place now.

John,

A number of years ago.

I'm hoping to play there this summer.

Why haven't they tried to improve 5, 6 & 9 ?

[Dan_Callahan]

I agree 5, 6 and 9 don't fit with the rest of the layout. But 5 isn't a bad hole. And 6 is decent. It's only 9 that is really lacking (in my opinion).

@ Tim Martin - yes I believe DYC to be a Stiles. Fun Fun course. Def needs some tree cutting.
@ Tim Martin - how is YGC looking after the hurricane?

T- Yale is in good shape and reopened on Good Friday. No long term adverse effects from the storm. I always heard good things about Duxbury and the comments including yours seem to back that up.

Good thing you don't keep lists or anything.

You have to take advantage of the threads on the stuff you know.

I hope you ran one OB left on #2 at TS-North today.  During my only round there, I returned to my cart after one hole only to find a coyote sitting on the seat rummaging through our stuff.

Too funny! He did run one OB at #2. Brad, curious as to what you found wacky on 8-9 at wyantenuck?

Hi Burr,

Neither of them are terrible or anything...just thought #8 was a bit odd with the transition from shot 1 to shot 2.  Saw many guys in the Mass. Am. (myself included) fail to pull off a long faded tee ball, only to hit a grounder recovery up the hill to wedge distance.  I thought the green was neat, and the third shot from an uneven lie made you think.  I don't have the length to bring that green in range in two shots so that wasn't an option for me even if I pulled off the tee shot.  #9 tee is a great spot, but for the Am. the green was near unplayable due to the green slope and firmness.  For the two stroke play days it was so firm, and the MGA was satisfied having only a small area around the hole where a ball would stop.  Playing the ball short of the green didn't work because most balls did not bounce forward, and anything landing on the green would run through...both leaving very difficult chip shots on the edge of fairness.  Obviously missing right is dead, leaving only the bunker left as the acceptable miss...just a bit too much luck involved when I played the hole in the event.  It seemed ok later in the week after they had some rain.
