Hit the (Other) Links!

Admit it: You’ve spent too much time indoors, flipping through Facebook groups, hitting website links and streaming stuff you didn’t really care about. North Central Massachusetts has a better idea for you: There’s a great green world out here — grab your golf bag and hit the links at one (or more!) of the region’s great golf courses! No matter where you stay, there’s a course nearby — many of them with tremendous views of the surrounding countryside.  §

Here’s a listing of courses where you can get away from the small screen, and enjoy the great outdoors.
