Longmeadow, Massachusetts · 18 holes · par 71 · Private. Opened 1965.

A caddie's yardage book for every hole: plays-like distance from USGS lidar elevation, reach and carry numbers for every bunker and water hazard, green front, middle and back, which way each green falls, and the lay-up zone on par 5s. Distances are from the back tees along the mapped hole; for a shorter tee, take off the scorecard difference.

  • At about 210 ft the ball carries about 0% farther than at sea level, so a 150-yard shot plays like about 150. Golfers visiting from low elevation should expect to club down.
  • Biggest climb: hole 6, where the green sits 21 ft above the tee and plays about 7 yards longer.
  • Biggest drop: hole 5, where the green sits 16 ft below the tee and plays about 5 yards shorter.
  • 15 greens tilt 2% or more. Each hole below says which side of the hole leaves an uphill putt.

Maps: tee at the bottom, green at the top. The dashed line is the mapped hole; the gold band is the lay-up zone; the arrow on the green points downhill.

In play

  • Bunker left: 197 to reach, 216 to carry
  • Bunker right: 258 to reach, 274 to carry
  • Bunker front-right of the green
  • Bunker front-left of the green

Playing notes

  • Dogleg left at about 267 yards.
  • Hazards on both sides of the fairway from 197 yards; a tee shot that finishes short of 197 keeps them out of play.
  • The fairway is about 26 yards wide at 238 and narrows to 21 at 288.
  • Best lay-up: 70 to 170 yards from the green, where the fairway is about 26 yards wide with no bunkers or water within 16 yards.
  • Hazards guard both sides of the green; aim for the middle.
  • The green falls from back-left to front-right, about 2%. Finish on the front-right side of the hole for an uphill putt.

Playing notes

  • Fairway bunkers on the left: 300 to reach, 308 to carry. Drives that finish short of 300 stay clear; otherwise the right side is the safer line off the tee.
  • The fairway is about 39 yards wide at 248 and narrows to 31 at 298.
  • The green is guarded on the left by bunkers; miss right.
  • Bunkers short of the green; take enough club to carry it.
  • The green falls from back to front, about 2%. Finish on the front side of the hole for an uphill putt.
  • The green is 37 yards deep: a back pin can play about 3 clubs more than a front pin.

Hole maps, hazards and playing notes come from mapped course data and USGS 3DEP elevation (public domain), not a visit. Plays-like numbers use the Skitty caddie's rule of one yard per 3 ft of rise, from the longest tee; altitude uses 1.16% of carry per 1,000 ft. Tees, hazards and conditions change; check with the course before you play. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0) via OpenGolfAPI. Scorecard yardages and ratings as published.
