The course is on the right side of the road. You hit a downhill tee shot to a narrow landing area. The fairway bends from right to left, so a draw will make the hole shorter, but also more dangerous. There is trouble lurking on the left where a stone wall lies just off the fairway. The small green is pitched and guarded by two sand traps in front.
Many holes run parallel, but large trees give the appearance of separation.
Like the majority of courses in the region without automatic irrigation, Petersham has felt the effects of the summer drought. But Petersham has fared better than most. Where the fairways were once thin, the turf is returning. The tees have good grass and the greens are fast and pure. You won t find a better course for the price.
