 Great course

Pros: Two sets of tees for each hole. Mostly all wide open and challenging. A good variety of shots to 18 (blue tee) is especially satisfying when the pond is full of water.
Cons: When kids sporting events are going on the parking can overflow blocking some of the baskets. A couple holes are right along the edge of the football field so you have to be careful during games. The only hole I curse everytime I am there is 17 (blue). It is on the edge of a steep hill that goes down to the left...you really need a strong anhyzer (if you are a righty) shot to stay out of the woods here that will hold the curve to stay out of the woods here.
Other Thoughts: The changes in distance between the red and blue tees are pretty big. Red would be good if you are bringing beginners out but I don't think they'd offer much of a challenge to someone that had been playing for awhile.

Pros: Wide open course for the most part that utilizes some hillside for pin placements. O.B. LONG O.B. SHORT. Roll away putts all make for fun, yet challenging course.(Especially if it's windy) Easy to find, just off I-95.
Cons: Avoid the standing water. Natural teepads. Multiuse sports complex.
Other Thoughts: Would make a great addition to any Eastern Mass. D G weekend.

Pros: The course has some good elevation changes and makes good use of the topography. Any time there are steep slopes, at least a few baskets (in my opinion) should be located near the slope for some good risk/reward, and Pye Brook does just that. Several of the holes have big right-to-left hills, so a RHBH player has the challenge of ending up way left if you hyzer out just a little too much. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of similar challenges for LHBH.

There are a couple holes with water, most notably 18, which forces a long throw over the water or laying up on the side.
Cons: Most of the holes are completely wide open, so the elevation is the only challenge. The few holes that are flat are pretty boring. There are two or three wooded holes, but otherwise there are no trees or obstacles between you and the basket, other than a fence here or there. I have never played here when baseball games were going, but I imagine it makes it a lot less enjoyable (the second hole has the real possibility of landing in the outfield if you pull right too much).

The course doesn't have enough real challenge for a good player, but the water keeps some of the holes from being very beginner-friendly.

The course was built on a landfill, so I would not venture into the water after a lost disc.
Other Thoughts: The course can get pretty windy, which could be a pro or con, depending on your viewpoint. Overall, this course is just okay. If you are north of Boston and want to play a round (or if you just don't like the typicall wooded courses of New England), this course is more than adequate. If you're visiting the area, there are far superior courses within an hour or so..

Pros: Good course for rec. to adv. players to have a quick rounds. Some nice holes that requires good shots or make it up big time if you screw it up.

Nice tee signs and the course are well kept by town.
Cons: It can get crowed when there's baseball games going on. Be cautions when throwing discs near baseball fields during strong winds.

Choose wisely when throwing at #18 across the water. Pretty close calls when disc landed near the water.
Other Thoughts: Course is pretty much straightforward really. Just throw it straight and you can make it par everytime or get some deuces all the way around if its good day.

One thing in mind that the course is on pretty high top hill area where there are plenty strong constant winds which I can my kite there after the round. It make the game more challenging to play.

Worth checking out for Rec. to Adv. players and also to introduce to newbies as well. Pros can play there if they are in mood for quick rounds if happen to be in the area.

Pros: Pye Brook is wide open with great elevation changes, and challenging slopes that you have to putt on.
Cons: Situated around town playing fields the area is not exclusively for DG. The park gate at times is closed.
Other Thoughts: I like this course. It can be tough but it is fair.
