Franconia Golf Course
About Franconia Golf Course
Franconia Golf Course in Springfield, Massachusetts opens with a trio of short, strategic par fours that reward placement over length.
The first plays 331, 317 or 303 yards depending on tee, with a mature oak tree guarding the line; long hitters can take it on with a draw, while a safer route stays right of the tree, though the fairway slopes away on that side and gathers shots into the rough. The green sits amid mounding and asks only a short iron.

The second, at 327/317/297 yards, favors a drive up the left center to open up a green that runs deep and narrow from back to front, with a sizable bunker short right. The third plays 369/342/310 yards and again sets up best from the left center of the fairway, leaving a mid iron to a heavily bunkered green that tilts from back to front, making an approach left and below the hole the preferred miss.
