The grounds men watched us play our balls off tees with sprinklers running, only turning one of four off, and then watched us play through five fairway sprinklers.

It's a fun course with a short par 3 over a pond on #6, #7 is a very interesting short par 4 that is straight out and then an acute 45 degree angel over a creek, #8 is a very challenging par 3, with a downhill fairway, over a natural area and creek to narrow green. All in all a very fun & challenging front 9. The tee boxes are all in good shape, the fairways are all grassy and green and the greens are slick and fast. We played 9 holes right at a 2 hour pace. I'll be looking forward to a return to play the remaining 9.

I went to World Cup because they have Trackman and figured I could get an accurate average yardage…read moreon every club in my bag. Lately have been coming up short on my approach shots and wanted to take the guess work out of it. So I booked a bay at $8.30 and bought a $20 bucket of balls. The Trackman screen is a pain in the ass to work when changing clubs. Now I know that I avg 250 with my driver but this machine was telling me that I was hitting it 205, so I went down the line with the next 4 clubs. Every club was extremely short so I took 6 of my own balls out of my bag to see if it was their balls or the machine that was giving me a false yardage. The 6 Titleist ProV1 gave me 40-50 yards difference...their balls are JUNK, either they are restricted flight or just crap that have been hit too many times. This effort proved only one thing to me...that it was a total waste of time and money! If you are hitting balls and don't care how far they go or if they nose dive 50yds out then practice at World Cup! But if you want to get accurate yardage and flight and easy transition when changing clubs then practice at KIMBALL'S in Westford Ma!! Sorry but this place is a joke!

I didn't expect much so I was even more surprised at the quality of the course and the country club feel. It's a bit more manicured and open than I thought it would be given the location in rural western MA. The 11th is very picturesque, with a winding brook framing the right side and then cutting across in front of the green. The 15th was also very pretty but a good bit more challenging. The closing 18th is a bit of an odd hole where I had to fight through geese and their legions of droppings but somehow fisted a wedge onto the green and made birdie (it was the only hole where the fairway wasn't in good condition). Looking at satellite images, I guess the course had some serious burnout issues at some point but everything looks good now and was quite lush and consistent when I played.
