See you next season!
To my fellow golfers! I get it… When you live in this hemisphere and are a diehard golfer, it’s difficult to hang it up for the season without regret. Those off days during the winter in New England when the sun is out and the temps rise just slightly above 45 degrees, you search GolfNow urgently for a tee time, throw on your warm weather gear and you head out to the course. Fairchild Wheeler gets this and caters to those who are itching to play and don’t have the opportunity to run to a warm climate on a whim. Sounds like a golden opportunity, of course! However, this is why the course is not well maintained. From muddy, non-existent tee boxes, to inch-deep puddles on the green. My recommendation to FW during this time of year, regardless of weather, is to also learn when to hang it up for the season. It makes for a better course experience during the warmer months. Additionally, please enforce cart path rules after moderate rain.
Excellent shspe
Fairways and greens are the best I’ve seen in a long time, especially considering the weather we’ve had, Great value and fun to be play!!!

Great course, lots of effort to walk!
Loved the Black Course. Interesting hole shapes, forgiving too. A very hilly course, we noticed because we walked. Finished in under 4 hours - nice pace of play.
Had drinks and food in clubhouse after playing - the Hot Oil & Sausage Pizza is amazing!

Hello, u876530370. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We see you rated the course 2-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve for your next visit.
We take customer feedback very seriously at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop and tell us what's on your mind.
One feature in the signup through GolfNow is that it automatically charged for a cart when we did not use a cart as we walked. There does not appear to be any way to get this credited back to my card or a direct refund. This will cause me to rethink using using that app.
Everything else was enjoyable and efficient.

Lovely course
The Black course is challenging, but yet the wide fairways and good course management, allows you to score well. There are places where you can’t see where you will be hitting! The condition of the course was generally good in spite of rains. The starter was very friendly.

Terribly Maintained
They desperately need someone to start caring about the quality of this course. Every single area had grass that was way too long, including the greens and fringes. Where the grass wasn't too long was only that way because there was no grass! Weeds, dirt, divots, and more make playing here a nightmare. It's a shame because the back 9 is actually a very nice and picturesque layout.
