Municipal Saturday

Played franconia last Saturday. The course is in really nice shape. The people are nice and the course is solid for a municipal! For the price you can't beat it! Play was slow as expected later on a weekend morning. Recommended....

Terrific Tuesday at Franconia!!!

Everyone in our group agreed that the course was a excellent shape. The staff was excellent and very friendly. I'll definitely will play there again this year. Always love the layout, fair, but challenging.

Rainy day at Franconia

We played in light rain but the course held up well. Fairways and greens were in good shape. We finished in under 4 hours so pace of play was fine.

Best Muni in Western Mass

My favorite. Love this place. I could play here everyday and never get bored. Great mix of holes and the topography of the property gives the course a great feel. 13 and 18 are probably 2 of the best par 4's in Massachusetts. So much fun and the conditions have improved year after year.

Awsome Track

Franconia is a nice course, well maintained and an all around super friendly staff. Would have given it 5 stars but the greens were recently punched and slow; should be great in a month. Also the bunkers not raked although the sand is beautiful. Easy course to walk. Nice layout.
