The Island green was such a cool feature right on the bay. The areas short and around the greens at KGC were soft and did not allow for shot creativity which surprised me. There is a lot of strategy at BGC as to where you need to hit a shot from to have access to certain pins, where I felt that Kittansett was all aerial darts from anywhere in the fairway with only one or two exceptions. Hanse made some very bold greens at BGC and I like how they are able to keep them a hair slower to allow for some very fun pin positions and putts. It took me until 18 to make a birdie and it was a two putt after hitting a drive 4 iron to 20 feet. The greens at Kittansett were subtle and very very tricky which I loved! I was scratching my head all day and my caddie was finding lines that were the exact opposite of what I was thinking. Greens: Boston Golf Club wins in overtime. Regardless they made great use of the land, but just didn’t have the canvas that BGC has. I was thinking that the inland holes at Kittansett would have more movement, but they didn’t. The land is absolutely phenomenal for both golf courses. Coming from Eastward Ho! Boston Golf club the previous two days, I was absolutely stunned by the land movement of both golf courses. Personally I’d love to see the nines switched at BGC. Boston starts away from the clubhouse and it’s a decent walk from 9-10. I have a favorite bay stretch (3-6) and a favorite inland stretch being 8-13. The routing bay, then into the woods, then back out to the bay to finish is great.
Let’s put them toe to toe and see what happens!
I don’t even know where to begin because they are both fantastic golf courses but there are different aspects that make them both great. I was fortunate to play these heavyweights back to back this year and thought I would share my comparison that I had with a good friend recently.
