All right guys, I need to know which courses around Boston are open now. I know some guys played Metacomet today. I’ll have some free time next week and I’m getting the itch to be outside instead of on a simulator.

Newton Commonwealth and South Shore are open
The weather for this Sunday is looking decent as of today (fingers crossed). I’d love to get outside somewhere and play.

South shore has a 9 hole loop with all real greens. $25 to play all day. Very very worth it

My men’s league hockey team has our annual tourney at Twin Springs. 4 man scramble, 3 clubs per guy, the foursome must all play the same 3 numbered clubs. It probably takes 3+ hours to play 9 holes and couldn’t be more fun. Trying to play that course with only 3 clubs is actually kinda tough.
IGC is great. It’s had a lot of turnover lately, but I’m really glad I joined. Easily the best practice area around and having 36 holes, each very different, is a treat.

My club has a social membership thats 36 holes a month instead of 2 rounds. Might be something to mention to them too.
“Well technically I didn’t hole out… or play under the Rules of Golf…”
I see what your saying…I’m not biting.
It was more so that their 2 rounds especially book end of season were getting cut short.
I got an email from Norton CC saying they were open.
South Shore is opening the full 18 for this weekend. I called the proshop for a tee time, but they opened up the online booking too
Anyone going to the golf expo next weekend?
Been a couple times, never really got anything out of it and it doesn’t look like they’ve updated who is speaking this year yet.
I usually only go because I live down the street, but I can’t this year because I’ll be on vacation. Agree it usually not worth it.
Have a couple buddies talking about going on Saturday. I was on the fence before so this makes my decision to try to play outside or hit a sim easier.
I’ll probably go unless the weather is good enough to actually get out and play. Never expect much when I go but it is nice to do anything golf-related this time of year. Go in with no expectations and you can’t be disappointed.

I’m up north in NH, but am willing to make the drive if anything is open and if anyone needs a fourth!
