Other Thoughts:
We went back up to Otter Brook to play yesterday. They were having tourney so we had a couple of hours to kill so we went to play Pilgrim Pines which is about a 20 minute drive south.
It's located right on the north end of Swanzey Lake in a really gorgeous setting. You need to traverse some occasionally pretty crappy paved and dirt roads to get there, but nothing our disc golf excursion Prius couldn't handle.
We didn't have a map (there's one on this site though) so we didn't really play all it correctly. It's also weird because there are signs saying "No public play June - August" - which is when the accompanying camp is open so that makes sense. This implies public play other times. But there are also signs which sort of look like they're implying "Members only".
Anyway we played and nobody kicked us out. We were the only ones on the course - but there were a few other humans in-and-out on the neighboring beach - very quiet and empty on this sunny mid-October day.
It's a extremely wide open course co-located on a chip and putt golf course on a gently sloping hill. Baskets are good quality DGCA ones. There is a super low chance of losing a disc except for the small pond on a couple of holes. There is also a tiny creek (basically a grassy ditch) that runs through the lower part. All-in-all an attractive place to play.
It's pretty much the exact opposite of Otter Brook in terms of openness of the holes so if you want to add an extra 9 holes of diversity to your day and it's off-season you should check this place out.
Also discovered a map on this site so we'll probably go back someday soon and try to play it right and update this review. But our initial impression was that this could be a fun course for lots of wide open shots.
Also stopped at 5 Guys for burgers in Keene afterwards so balancing out any possible benefits of playing 27 holes this day.

Picturesque wide open shots overlooking the lake 2+ years drive by

Played on:Nov 17, 2016
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Great wide open shots up and down easy rolling hills. Great hole placement for challenging shots.
Cons:
natural tees. private course. crisscrosses golf course, but there's never (rarely) anyone on the course.
Other Thoughts:
This course is well laid out. Start and finish right at the same place. no overlapping holes. fantastic hole placement, some tucked in the trees making even some of the open shots more interesting and challenging
