Offseason rates are now in effect at the Mill Pond Golf Course in Medford. Residents (with town discount card) can play the wind-swept par-70 with a cart for $40 on weekdays and $42 on weekends during peak morning hours. Non-residents can play and ride for $50 on weekdays and $52 on weekends. Twilight rates kick in after noon.
The course will be aerated the week of October 26.
Mill Pond is a shade under 6,300 yards from the tips and features sprawling fairways and wonderfully maintained grounds. It's a great destination on a day when you have the urge to swing the driver without a care. Well-placed bunkers and a couple of ponds on the back nine work to keep you on your toes.
