428.0. "The Captains Brewster MA" by GRANPA::KVENEZIO () Tue Oct 25 1988 14:33

    I noticed in the most recent issue of Golf Digest that a course
    located in Brewster Mass. called "the Captains" has made the 50
    best public courses in the US. Can someone let me know where Brewster
    is located. I'll be in Boxboro this coming week and would like to
    give it a try. If Brewster is cross state I guess I should play
    Stow. Any suggestions?

	Brewster is on Cape Cod. I've played the Captains and would recommend playing there, but I think its out of your driving range. Probably a 2 hour drive from Boxboro. Chuck_who_meant_car_driving_range.

	Chuck, thanks for the reply. On a cold day in NE and a strong tailwind down 128 you may be able to drive the Cape. Would that be a hook or a fade from Boxboro ? Ken
428.3	Straight South!!!	OURVAX::GLASS		`Wed Oct 26 1988 10:04`	8
	Hi, Hit it straight down RT128, then RT3 and across the Cape Cod Canal. This would be worth the trip and the air would be warmer down there. Stow is nice, but play this course if you can and remember that the Cape is famous for winter golf! Tom
428.4	WOW!!	CSG001::BRAULT		`Tue Nov 01 1988 10:55`	16
	THE CAPTAINS!! exit 11 off the cape highway. I played there about 4 weeks ago. I recommend it highly!! This course has fairways that are better than some putting greens. When approaching some greens on par 4's and 5's it was difficult to tell where the fairway ended and the green started. This course by far, was the best public course I have ever played on. GO down and try it, you will not be sorry. Better than most Private courses!!! You must call at 5:00 on Thursdays for a weekend start time. Make sure you have a tee time before you go down. Golf Digest had THE CAPTAINS rated number one public course in the country a couple of years ago. Allen
428.5	Just a little nit to pick	WORDS::NISKALA	Better off dead, than Sooner Red!	`Tue Nov 01 1988 14:37`	6
	Small nit about the Captains. It was rated by GD as the best NEW public course about 4 years ago. Just this past month GD came out with the top 75 publics in the US, and The Captains is in the second 25 grouping. It is a very nice course, had the chance to play it once 2 years ago. Hope to get there again sometime in the future.
