Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Holiday Sale

If you are looking for 10 round passes or gift certificates, your best deals will be on Black Friday, followed by Cyber Monday.   The Holiday Sale will then continue through December 23.  If you are ordering online, please give us 48 hours to process any orders.  Dollar amount gift cards will be emailed to you with a code, but 10 round passes need to be mailed or picked up so please keep that in mind.  We will be closed completely December 24-26.

Memberships 

Rates are increasing for the 2022 season, and new memberships are not currently available.  We sold too many memberships in 2021, and we have a waiting list.  Since our last membership price increase, our weekend greens fees with cart have increased from $47 to $57.  With the price of labor and other inputs on a steep rise, the price will be $1,050 for a weekday pass or $1,350 for a seven day pass if you pay by January 7, 2022.  If you don’t pay by that date, you will risk losing your membership to someone on the waiting list.  Outside range balls will be an additional charge.  We will not be offering memberships in the Barn.  Realistically, we need to lose 15 weekday members before we go to the waiting list.  We are not priced to be a private or semi-private golf course, we are a daily fee facility and our membership rates are reflective of that.  We appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to give enough notice in case you want to explore membership options elsewhere.

Barn Golf League

The popular Barn golf league will begin the week of January 2.  Stay tuned for winter hours.
Format – Each week we will play a different 9 holes. Individual stroke play with 100% handicaps
Price – $20 per player for 2 hours of time
Prizes – $5 cash for low net score (new players will need to establish a handicap)  Number of places paid will depend on number of entries
$5 Birdie Pool – (new players can be in the birdie pool) if you are the only player in the league to birdie or eagle a hole, you will win a share of the pot  (if 3 players have a birdie that holds, the pot is split 3 ways)

Fall Greens Fees are in effect starting October 12

Greens are not aerated and won’t be in the month of October.  It’s still a great time to play golf, why screw it up?

Our leagues are over, but we are still running the birdie pools for all of them and you can still take advantage of the league rates.  (Actually $5 cheaper, but they no longer include a $5 lunch credit or an evening meal.)

Cranberry harvest will continue for the next 3 weeks or so at the golf course.  There are a lot of moving parts so I can’t say what we’ll be doing on any given day, but if you come out you may be lucky enough to see us in action.   The golf course will always remain open during harvest, but there may be a tee closed so we don’t put our workers in danger from errant golf balls.

Membership rates will be increasing for the 2022 season.  We sold too many memberships in 2021, and we have a waiting list.  Since our last membership price increase, our weekend greens fees with cart have increased from $47 to $57.  With the price of labor and other inputs on a steep rise, the price will be $1,050 for a weekday pass or $1,350 for a seven day pass if you pay by January 7, 2022.  If you don’t pay by that date, you will risk losing your membership to someone on the waiting list.  Outside range balls will be an additional charge.  We will not be offering memberships in the Barn.  Realistically, we need to lose 15 weekday members before we go to the waiting list.  We are not priced to be a private or semi-private golf course, we are a daily fee facility and our membership rates are reflective of that.  We appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to give enough notice in case you want to explore membership options elsewhere.

Cranberry farmer and golf course owner William Bramhall Stearns III of Plymouth passed away on April 27, 2021 at the age of 71 following a several year battle with heart issues, diabetes, skin cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, and golfers who would not bring their carts in when it got dark. If there would be one thing that “Big Will” would insist on, it would be that people remember him with smiles and laughter, not sadness.

His generous heart had an impact on so many. We will miss the smiles, laughter, and stories.

Updated April 12

Here are the answers to some of our frequently asked questions.

When are golf leagues starting?

The Monday League (ages 55+), Tuesday League and Thursday League are underway.  This is a great chance to establish a quota if you are new to the league.  No commitments or registration fees required, just make a tee time and come when it is convenient.  In April the price will be $5 cheaper than in-season but will not include a lunch credit or evening meal.  The Tuesday and Thursday League will start for real in May.

The Women’s League will start on Wednesday May 5.

Tee times will be required for the 2021 season.  We are anticipating high demand again.

What are the Barn hours?

The week of April 12 the Barn will be closed on Monday and Wednesday.  Starting the week of April 19, the Barn will be open Monday-Thursday 3-8 PM, Friday-Saturday Noon-8 PM, and Sunday Noon-7 PM.

Am I able to walk into the Barn without a reservation?

This winter due to demand we were not able to accommodate walk-ins, but now we can.  Of course it depends on availability, but now that courses in the area are open we are not selling out all the time any more.

You can still reserve 2 hour blocks in the Barn at $40/hour or you may now purchase balls by the bucket again.
(Buckets must be used at the time of purchase, i.e. you can’t come in with tokens and use them in the Barn)
The Barn – $20/full bucket, $10/half bucket
The Barn (Mon-Thurs before 4 PM) – $15/full bucket, $7.50/half bucket

Outdoor Range – $7/full bucket, $3.50/half bucket

How long will the Barn League continue?

The Barn League will continue through April.

What’s the golf cart situation?

Golf carts are available and the rules are the same as the end of last year.  Single rider carts are no longer required, so there will be a $5 surcharge for requesting an individual cart rather than sharing a cart.  Leagues and super-twilight times will not be exempt like last year.
