Butter Brook: when to walk, when you have to ride

Carl's take

Butter Brook's weekday walk and weekend morning ride aren't the same purchase. The course's rate card spells out the difference. Pick your day and start time before deciding whether the Westford trip fits your budget.

Choose the walking window

At Butter Brook, the cart rule can decide your start time before the course itself does. A weekday walking round and a weekend morning riding round have different prices and conditions. Sort out that preference with the group before searching.

Do not assume the walking option shown elsewhere on the card applies to every tee time. If one player strongly prefers walking, choose an eligible window and confirm the exact rate rather than hoping the shop will make an exception.
