Monde’s experience

Generally speaking, course is good and challenging. However, the course play conditions were not up to my expectations. Too much leaves on course and as badly as it was, all over the Greens.
Everything else is fair!

New England Treasure

This golf course should be in a magazine for “Must Play” in the Autumn season. It is picturesque & was just stunning landscapes the day we played. The course was cleared for play with leaves blown & verdant green. It was like summer temps and Fall foliage. Heaven!

Delightful but Challenging

I'd heard a fair bit of the challenge of this course before arriving, so I knew this to be one of the hardest golf courses in Massachusetts.

There are many exciting holes, but the challenge is real. I say, "Fair Challenge" since this course is always right in front of you. no bad surprises.

There's lots of real water in play, a mix of distances, and a host of options off the tee.

Specifically, the 8th hole, a driveable par 4, should be a destination hole for any true new england golfer! Make sure you chose the back tees on this one and hit over water!

The staff working the course deserve kudos as they've managed the course brilliantly and cut down bushes and trees in normal "through areas" so you can usually find poorly hit tee shots.

Narrow and Slow

This place is pure bowling alley golf. Incredibly narrow and tree lined on every hole. Constant lost balls and players in the wrong fairway in every group leads to a maddening pace of play. Walked off after 4:20 after completing the 14th hole. Conditions were decent despite being wet, greens were soft and slow but well maintained. The 10th hole is one of the dumbest designs in the state. 600 yards for no reason with a blind approach guarded by water.

Nice Course, Good Value and Challenging

We played this course on a very hot and humid Sunday afternoon. The 18-hole price was $48.00 to walk. Course is generally "walkable" with small rolling hills and relatively short distance between tee and greens. Golf course was in good shape. We only had two complaints. First is there are zero drinking water facilities on the golf course, which is a major issue when temperature is above 80 degrees. We brought water with us, but we ran out after about 7 holes. The drink cart person didn't seem to cover the entire course. We asked a grounds keeper to contact the drink cart person to come to our group. She finally arrived on hole #13 to sell us Gatorade and water. Second complaint was the sprinklers were running on several holes in the middle of our round on a Sunday afternoon. Temperature was around 90 and the sun was shining, so watering at the time didn't make sense as the water evaporates almost immediately, plus the interference with golf play. Other than that, we enjoyed the golf course and the two people we were paired with.

One Of The Best Around

It's a beautiful golf course with an elegant clubhouse. The staff is very friendly and it's just a must play for anyone in New England. Butternut is a few rungs up from an average, regular course in this area. It gets four or five stars in the ratings I'm sure. Fast, but true rolling greens. Tree lined holes with tight fairways. If you can't hit the tee shot straight, you will be in for a high scorecard I can assure you that. I have played here many times over the years, before the new clubhouse was built even. Put it on your must play list.
