Cabot Citrus Farms - The Wedge Course

Today, I played my very first round of golf ever on the Wedge at Cabot. It was perfect for beginners, but we saw advanced players also using it as a warm-up before playing more difficult courses. I had so much fun that I’ve already reserved my next tee time!

How do you even the odds when you're playing better players? Drag them onto a short course, where their length and consistency are negated. Anybody can strike a few good wedges or putts in a row. That's what makes The Wedge such a good time. I played a match at night under the lights, which made it even more entertaining. It's well worth a buddies trip shootout to start or end your trip.

The proliferation of short courses is a great development for golf, and The Wedge fits right on-trend. It’s a distinct course unto itself, playable with as few as two clubs, but it is also a laboratory for some of architect Mike Nuzzo’s wilder ideas about green design, which might otherwise be left on the cutting room floor of a bigger course. In this way, playing a short course like The Wedge is like getting invited into a chef’s kitchen as he or she plays around with possible future menu items. A peek at the creative process is always exciting.
