Fun times

Met up with some friends for the back 9. The back really favors my swing being lefty and the dog legs left. The greens were tricky with pin placements but made very interesting. Really liked the course and wish I had time to get the full 18 in.

Ranger needed!

Beautiful day, great course spoiled by VERY slow play. When we started our round there was a one hole open in front of the foursome in front of us! At the turn there was a 4 hole gap and by the end of the round a full seven holes open because of the slow play by the group in front of us! No golf ediquette at all! They need a ranger to keep the pace and not allow this to happen. Don’t know if I will go back unless this is fixed! Sadly they were members and regulars!

Great Ross Municipal Course

Has to be one of the best 6500 yard courses in the country. These greens and green side bunkering are pure diabolical Ross.

I highly recommend playing for the Ross enthusiast.

Greens are excellent

The course is in good shape for the start of the season. The greens are in excellent condition and very fast; keep your ball beneath the hole.

Greens were terrific, but...

Very Slow play for a Thursday morning. 5.5 hour round. If the 4some in front of use took less than a 7 on any hole I'd be shocked. Saw Ranger on course, did nothing to move them along. Staff, per usual, a bit pretentious and focus highly on leagues and regulars and their needs. I was reminded why I don't play there all that often.

The Slow Course

Not much to say... nice layout, decent greens, but overall this place has gone down hill. It's now a great place for beginners, or the elderly. Not a place for serious golfers. There's a putting green but it has no slope, as opposed to the course which has huge ones. There's a range, but no net to the parking lot, so cars get hit... also cars get hit by the local criminals... so don't leave any valuables. Several of the traps are full of rocks so you can't hit from them or you'll wreck your clubs. Triggs is no longer a serious golf course.

Blown Away

My First time at Triggs and I was blown away. First off the Layout is amazing and at 6500 yards is all the golf course even 1 handicap player wants. 6 par 4's over 4 hundred yards. It's classic Donald Ross for sure. And second the condition of the course blew me away. The greens were almost perfect. I love this place and can't wait to go back. An absolute gem, and one of the best if not the best muni in New England.
