After completing my second visit to Big Sticks Golf in Burlington, MA, I decided to write a review…read morefor Yelp! My first visit was very positive and it prompted me to come back. I booked the golf simulator which allows for independent play as a solo or with a group of up to four where you can play practically any course isn't he world, practice at the range, or just analyze your swing. Because this is a golf simulator, you hit specially designed golf balls into a screen where various monitors and sensors pick up the trajectory, ball spin, velocity and forecast distance and accuracy. The results are very realistic and the distances from my own club selection are surprisingly accurate. While the tee to green is highly comparable to real life, the short game does take some adjustments. The staff at Big Sticks Golf was friendly and courteous in welcoming me, offering an empty bay to take some warmup swings and then logging me into the simulator. The rest was up to me. Again, the experience was lifelike enough to work on my swing after many winter months off. Where I was advised by their on-line booking site as well as talking to a member of the staff that an individual can play 18 holes of golf in under an hour at $55/hour. I played pebble beach and enjoyed it very much, despite losing too many strokes around the greens with finicky technology that requires some getting used to. For my second visit I booked 2 hours and played TPC Sawgrass twice since the PGA tour was there this week. Again the staff was courteous and assisted me in getting set up. While my tee to green game was still good, I experienced notice improvement in the short game vs. my previous visit. Using the "aim" on the monitor vs. trying to compensate with your actual stroke is key. I was very pleased with the experience and not only played the course twice shooting in the low 80s each round, but I also had 25 mins remaining to hit the range and work on various clubs and my swing. It was well worth the money and I am really looking forward to the warmer weather getting her to keep the momentum going on my regular outdoor game too. When it may be more convenient to play a quick round indoors, I will keep this establishment in mind all year round. Check out Big Sticks Golf and don't let the snow, cold, early season conditions or summer rains limit your golf game.

So, I had (note the past tense) two broad problems with golf. These are by no means specific to…read moreStone Meadow: 1. Golf is freaking expensive. 2. I tried golf as a teenager, and couldn't get the hand-eye coordination down. Don't kid yourselves, I still can't. I was designed to sit in front of an Excel spreadsheet, not stand in front of a golf tee. Stone Meadow Golf has completely turned everything on its head. Don't get me wrong, my hand eye coordination is still as real as the Loch Ness Monster, however the lack thereof is no longer as scary. Stone Meadow has a driving range and a 9-hole course. Both are priced very reasonably, and (at least for the 9-hole), equipment like a wedge, putter, and two balls. The course was very approachable and non-intimidating for a newbie like myself. The staff were also helpful and friendly. So, while I don't see myself becoming a person who holds for fun on his own, including owning one's own clubs, when my friends have an open invite for Stone Meadow, I will absolutely join them if I'm in town).

Knowing it was designed by Donald Ross makes the layout even more impressive, especially considering how compact and walkable it is. The course is always in pretty good shape for a city muni, and the setting around the reservoir adds a nice peaceful vibe. You can easily get in 9 holes after work or on a summer morning and feel like you got your golf fix without committing to a full day. That said--be ready for a wait if you go on the weekend. It's a popular spot, and pace of play can slow down during peak hours. Booking ahead is a must. Overall, a fun and challenging course with some real architectural pedigree. Great value and a staple for local golfers.

Went into the Reading store around 2 on a Wed - store had no customers, both bays empty…read more Immediately met at the door by a GG person 'anything I can help you with?'. - Yes! - I have practically new irons (TaylorMade P790s) and driver/woods (3-months old, used 3 times) - I can't hit them at all, I wanted replace them with a more forgiving set of irons, and maybe more forgiving driver. ** So ALL I wanted to do was hit 3 or 4 balls with a 7 or 8 iron - from each of the three sets - then buy which ever set I liked the most - and trade in the P790s. Surprisingly, he quickly blurted out: "we don't do that...we're not allowed to let you come in and just hit a bunch of balls and try every club in the store.... changing out heads and shafts BUT we have a guy who can work with you - for $100 you can work with him try different clubs, hit some balls... " I explained (a) I just wanted stock off-the-shelf IRONS, so I don't need a fitting and (b) I've researched this and 3 or 4 brands always came up as the most forgiving: Ping G425s, Callaway Rogue and TaylorMade Sim2 and M4; I just wanted to hit 3 or 4 balls with a 7 or 8 (or whatever they had) from each set - then BUY the set I liked the most - TODAY...maybe 12-15 balls total - then BUY... again - they can't do that - stunning. As we're standing at the front of the store - being told I CAN'T try any clubs out - two high school kids walk right past us and start hitting golf balls. I was shocked - "Really? I can't just hit a few balls with a 7 from each set?" ... after the 3rd or 4th time: "no, we're not allowed to let people just hit balls..." I finally said 'OK, OK, OK - forget it. This is WAY too complicated. I'll go somewhere else - thanks, bye" ... I assume they're being told to not let anyone demo a club and push the $100 "fitting" whether they want/need it or not. As I'm walking out, I hear Wait! Wait! You can hit balls...You can hit some balls..." . Moral of the story: go to golf and ski warehouse THERE you CAN try different clubs before you drop $800+ on a set. ** Update - went to Golf and Ski Warehouse in Hudson the next day, asked to hit a few 'forgiving' clubs and he gave me a Rogue, Sim2, Stealth, M2 and Titlist 7-iron to try - and a bucket of balls... I traded in the P790s for M4's and LOVE THEM. I then did the same with driver, 3-wood and hybrid - 3-4 different drivers. They'll tape up the drivers/woods/hybrids and let you hit multiple shots NOT watching. Also has $100 in their points I didn't know about. Don't buy clubs without at least hitting a few balls first, it probably won't work out
