Fall foliage golf
Course in good shape considering the lack of rain this summer, greens were excellent and faster than usual, tight challenging track
Beautiful in the fall, good fairways and greens
Tough course though. Very narrow fairways and if you fall on the rough prepare to lose your ball as it will be under 2 inches of leaves.
Quite challenging course
First time playing this course and was very pleased with the course condition and pace of play. Most of the holes have narrow fairways so advisable tee off with your straightest club. I only used my driver 3 times. Not particularly long even playing from the blues. The course is in great condition and the Fall foliage just add another dimension to the setting. Also, rather flat so walking is pleasurable. Good value for money.
Good Course. Conditions slipped a bit
Course conditions not up to usual standards. Greens were slow and I noticed some bare patches in fairways that aren't normal for Butternut. Hopefully these are temporary issues as I enjoy playing there.
Aeration, still recovering
The greens were aerated recently, still recovering, sandy bumpy, long grass. No notification from golfnow or discount, what gives?
Overall in good shape, if you don't mind the greens (some dirt areas as well), play it.
Gem of a course played by animals
Friendly staff and fantastic course. Greens and fairways were in good shape (few spots were under repair, but otherwise maintained well). Quite an accomplishment when the players don’t repair their divots or pitch marks when they actually hit the greens! I mean Massachusetts hasn’t seen scalps like that since the puritans.. if you play here please respect the course better.
narrow fairways, good greens, rude staff
overall nice local course, very narrow fairways, lot of "fore" warnings and balls flying around. Should have water available on the golf course on a hot day.
Great Course, but too packed
Was scheduled to play 18. We left after 9. First 5 hoes were smooth. 6-9 took almost an hour and a half. Groups in front of us jammed together and no ranger to fix the problem. This was a 9:51 tee time on a Friday. I understand that it’s a public course and have no problem with a reasonable pace of play, but this was absurd.
Reachable Par 4s!
We were on vacation in the area and just picked this course for the good reviews.
We were so pleasantly surprised this course did not disappoint, challenging and fun. We’re seniors so we can’t always reach the par 4s on many courses, but this course has many reachable par 4s and 5s.
Bowling Alley Golf
Very interesting layout and design. Course was in great shape except for a few tee boxes but I except that now as NBD. Large fast greens (I 3 putted the first 3 holes until I got used to them) and the fairways were like hitting off some greens I’ve played. If you’ve never played here before I suggest you pair up with someone that has because the holes crisscross each other and you have to jump over tees & greens to get to the next hole, very confusing layout, but I still loved it. i’ll give credit to the two guys who were my course guide for suggesting the review title. Every hole is lined with trees on both sides 20 yards off the fairway and street straight shots are a must. This course is a must play and I will certainly be back.
Tight fairways and tees, true greens
Enjoyed this course even though I mostly hit irons off the tees due to shorter distances and tight fairways. I was mostly scrambling to get to the greens, almost never on in regulation. Greens were soft and ran true.
Cart paths need some repair and are pretty bumpy. Repairs seem to be taking place.
Would play again.
Love Butternut!
I drive over an hour to play at Butternut several times a season. Pretty, challenging course, interesting layout, in nice shape. Staff is always very friendly. Highly recommend
Course is getting neglected
I played this course a few years ago once. It was in a great shape. Greens were perfect and so were fairways. I played it again on 7-25-26, and some greens are patchy with dirt and sand all over them. Shame on whoever is in charge of this beautiful course.
It was a Great Day!
You never know what your going to get when you go to a course you don't know. We were visiting from Canada. The course was in great shape and a challenging layout with very tight holes for the most part. Target golf.
Had a great day with my 3 boys!!!
