Plays 6,300 Yards but travels more like 6 miles. Leo Martin Memorial is a DCR course, owned and maintained by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. That means no tee times and overplayed. The course is horribly laid out with long distances between many holes over busy roads and the Charles River. Plays well during dry seasons but after the river floods, drainage is a frequent problem on holes 6, 12 and 17 (which never dries up). Not a particularly challenging course other than finding a decent lie or putting through a flock of canada geese. Only the Blues have actual tee boxes, the other tees are mainly pegged on the fairways. Amenities include a putting green, driving range and steamed hot dogs. Worth playing once or twice but not a favorite.
