The wide fairways are relatively hilly, and the oversized greens are undulating and can provide some interesting putts. Along with a number of bunkers, the river and Trull Brook guard several of the greens, requiring accurate approach shots to avoid the trouble. Stow Acres Country Club – Stow North (Attractions & Activities - Public Golf Courses) 58 Randall Rd, Stow  MA  01775 • 978-568-1100 Distance: ~23.99 mi User Rating: 9 / 10         Description: Winding its way through a thickly wooded pine forest, this course features relatively flat fairways. Longer than most, the difficulty comes from the challenging par-3's and a handful of demanding par-4's. Overhanging trees will deflect off line shots and water hazards present problems on several holes. New England Country Club (Attractions & Activities - Public Golf Courses) 180 Paine St, Bellingham  MA  02019 • 508-883-2300 Distance: ~30.95 mi         Description: This Massachusetts course plays longer than the yardage due to the hilly nature of the terrain, and several holes actually cross over into Rhode Island. Narrow fairways demand accuracy off the tee and large greens require careful club selection on approach shots. Overhanging trees, mounded fairways, and undulating greens increase the difficulty level from shot to shot. Atlantic Country Club (Attractions & Activities - Public Golf Courses) 450 Little Sandy Pond Rd, Plymouth  MA  02360 • 508-759-6644 Distance: ~45.46 mi         Description: With oversized, elevated greens, difficult approach shots are common on this exceptional course. To add to the difficulty level, the wide fairways are well mounded and guarded by a number of bunkers. In fact, you are often forced to make approach shots from awkward lies. Reading these greens can be difficult as well, with many being multi-tiered and relatively quick. Ballymeade Golf & Country Club (Attractions & Activities - Public Golf Courses) 125 Falmouth Woods Rd, East Falmouth  MA  02536 • 508-540-4005 Distance: ~53.94 mi         Description: Keep it straight off the tee as trouble lines these well-manicured fairways. A premium is placed on accuracy as several water hazards and even more bunkers will collect errant shots. While the elevation allows several scenic views of Martha's Vineyard, the unprotected areas often produce shot altering winds. Cape Cod Country Club (Attractions & Activities - Public Golf Courses) 48 Theater Rd, Hatchville  MA  02536 • 508-563-9842 • 508-563-6109 Distance: ~57.46 mi         Description: This traditional course is set among a number of large trees and protected by an oversized pond. Changes in elevation will lead to tricky approach shots, as many of these greens are on the small side. Higher points on the course have scenic views but also lead to windy conditions that will affect approach shots. Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Course (Attractions & Activities - Public Golf Courses) 1460 Rte 149 , West Barnstable  MA  02668 • 508-420-1141 • 508-420-1142 Distance: ~57.57 mi         Description: While Mother Nature played a large part, the front nine and back nine appear to be from two different courses. The open front nine is the result of a past hurricane, and the back nine features narrow, tree-lined fairways with rolling hills and small, undulating greens. Finding the line and controlling the speed on these difficult greens will be the key to a good round. Copyright ©2001 10Best Inc. All rights reserved.
