Caption - 9th??
Overview
Sister course of Bass River Golf Course
27 holes: Red, White, Blue courses
Option to play various combinations: Red/White, White/Blue, Red/Blue. (Note: the Blue Course is links-style.)
Outstanding logo replicating the masters logo
Pre-Round
One of the best practice areas among Massachusetts public course: driving range, sand area, huge putting green, chipping green
Massive putting area with true to course green conditions
Mid-Round (COVID)
No special pin features to retrieve ball (hole depth slightly modified)
Check in process was easy and safe with contactless payment in vestibule
Individual carts allowed
On-cart GPS
Post-Round
There’s a small patio overlooking the putting green with food and beverage service
Playability
Quintessential cape cod, fairway pines
Course favors the left to right shot shape (lots of dogleg right holes)
Findability among the pine straw is favorable, although a punch out will be required
Variety with overall distance/tee selection, plays as long as 7000 yards or 6100 from the whites (middle tees)
Cart recommended: hard course to walk due to proximity of greens and tees
Bunkers were inconsistent, some had sand and some were rock hard
Greens: a touch slow, but true roll
Very little water - which is probably good - there are plenty of trees and sand to deal with!
Memorable Quirks / Features
Solid holes but few memorable/different design features
Value
Above average value: Bayberry can compete with the upper tier of Massachusetts public courses at a reasonable price
There are different pricing tiers where the price drops at various points in the afternoon
Memorability
Bogey
Description of why.
Home on the range.
No matter if you’re playing the Red, White, or Blue course, you’ll want to arrive early to take advantage of the grass range and nearby sand practice area.
