Bass Rocks is a fun test of golf in a certainly old-world way. It's unique in that much of it pre-dates even Myopia as there is no earthwork on many of the holes, letting the rocks, stone walls, and surrounding native vegetation influence play. The mounding that exists seems right from the Victorian era. It's very refreshing for match play in a "golf was never meant to be fair" sort of way.
My first play here in HS (it was the furthest course from our school so it was almost a mythical journey) was just before the big changes, but we only played the front nine. In 2000 or so, they deleted several holes to insert a driving range next to the clubhouse and built f new ones in the middle of the property. They aren't offensive but are perhaps the three least interesting holes on the current course. I think they are the current 6-7-8-9. 6 used to dogleg hard left but there was a road and a home on the inside of the dogleg, and the second shot was completely blind. The range contained a few holes (original 12-13-14) before the final 4 in the meadow, with one hole ending 150 yards up the hill behind the range tee/parking lot...and the practice chipping green was the green for a downhill par three...tough to imagine with all the potential road crossings and logistics and balls flying every which-way, but it was played that way for 100+ years!
