If you're open to going into MA there are a few courses I'd recommend. The Ranch and Blackstone National are two of my favorite courses.

Blackstone National
A coworker became a member there and took a few of us out. This was a guy I beat handily on other courses, but his home court advantage crushed me that day. I think they made modifications on a downhill dogleg right hole with a carry over junk that I snowmanned. I don't see the junk on current layout.

Great course. Lots of variety and elevation changes.

Ranch and Blackstone 2 excellent choices. I live about 10 minutes from The Ranch it’s solid. 9th and 16th crazy downhill par 5s but fun to throw your drives high up in the sky and watch where you land. 9 you can get home 16 not so much maybe a couple perfect bombs. But some great views for sure and always in real nice shape. Blackstone very similar in many ways with some fun dog legs and par 3s. Good local tracks in the MA area. Add Kettlebrook in Paxson MA to the list fun track out in the middle of nowhere.

So Mau,
You ever play Banner Lodge in Moodus? Or a nine at Chanticlair in Colchester?

Agreed. Given the choice of Goodwin, Keney or Rockledge, I'd play Rockledge 1,000 out of 1,000 times too.
That's a very high percentage! I will say that Rockledge and Keney are both nicer than Goodie, but I wouldn't say it's 1000/1000 Rockledge over Keney.

You're play Portland Wet huh? That's only "59" in my book LOL. Real nice Par 3 course with 4 par 4s which are fun thrown in. You will be working on your iron game for sure. The Hopyard is a nice track will seem like a monster if you play the West prior.

I’m always down to play. Would love to meet some BY golfers @Deepster @mauconnfan. We gotta get this guy to Goodie. Has played 58 publix but no Goodie!

58 hell there's some not mentioned
58 is impressive. I’m at 30 but missing most of the southern courses.

Really 61 because Tunxis, Blackledge and Lyman have 2 courses each and I’ve played them all. Actually Tunxis has 45 holes a Red course that I’ve played too. 61.5 lol

Actually Gillette and Wintonbury aren’t on there what else are we missing? As Idaho pointed out Pine Valley.

What else? CT National?

We need an all CT list... I’ve hit a lot of the private ones when I played the junior and amateur circuits in my glory days. Maybe that’ll help me catch up...but you set a high bar.
