Pros:
I like the 2 basket 2 pad design so there are multiple combinations. We played mostly blue (long) pad to green (short) basket. Most of the holes are in the shade of the trees which was nice in July. The holes are picturesque and loved the rock walls all over the course as well as the spool tables at every tee. They have several unique holes. One basket is hanging, one basket is up on top of a spool. Finally hole 17 tees off in a barn and you must make the triple mando to get out of the bar to the island hole. While we played green baskets, I could see that the blue baskets were in challenging positions. the course was easy to get around. Only time we used the provided map is for hole 5 because the sign was a little vague.
Cons:
The only negative was that there were only 4 concrete green pads. They are in the process of concreting the green pads and it wasn't a deterrent. We easily moved to the concrete blue pads and they were fine for our playing level. There were green tee pads, they were just natural earth rather than concrete.
Other Thoughts:
I played with my 16yo daughter who plays Intermediate women and I play rec man. We are from Florida and the owner Rich came out and greeted us and told us about the course. That was much appreciated. I have played 6 Mass courses and this was my second favorite. With completed green pads, it's a 4 star.
