Bretwood
Bretwood Golf Course is actually home to two well-rated and popular 18-hole championship layouts, the North and South courses. Marginally shorter than the usually higher-rated North course, Bretwood's South course shares the same designers as its sibling, and also offers an enjoyable and challenging round.
The tree-lined and open parkland North course should not disappoint, with several excellent holes to enjoy. Meandering through it is the Ashuelot River, which wanders alongside several of the holes, and is crossed on a couple occasions via covered bridges. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of the Bretwood courses.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends during golf season (April thru' Nov).
Must book in advance.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2020].
Walking permitted at all times.

Meandering through both of Bretwood's courses is the Ashuelot River. At 64 miles, it is the longest tributary of the Connecticut River, which flows due south from the US-Canadian border to eventually discharge into Long Island Sound. The entirety of the border between Vermont and New Hampshire is defined by the west bank of the Connecticut River.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
