He did not allow the new holes to overwhelm the pleasant, but more mundane, old holes. He exerted the same restraint in designing the greens. The ten new greens at Brattleboro are some of the sweetest to be found in the state. But, unlike the new Durkee greens at Okemo Valley, they are understated and gently modulated. This course is a pretty one quietly attractive throughout.
Many holes provide a nice sense of being isolated from the nearby residential areas.
There are no condos and houses are visible in only a few locations. There is little sense that a sizeable town is close by. Two local roads border the course, but the low-volume traffic rarely intrudes upon play. Interstate 91 is immediately below the southern holes, but again, it is not intrusive. Other areas of the course present an open, airy appearance.
