One of the best muni’s in the country. Old Ross layout with dynamic greens, it’s a hilly walk but worth it. If playing for the first time get a GPS going so you know where to hit it, a lot of blind shots!

Tucked into the middle of nowhere, this absolute gem was potentially the best set up for four ball match play I’ve ever been graced by. You’re on a college campus but as soon as you walk up to the first tee it feels like a step back in time, a quieter time.

The layout is a ton of fun, with mostly friendly wide fairways to receive shots, but some tricky greens to provide a challenge. A very scoreable course if the wind is down, and always a ton of fun.

Franklin Park is a gem and it only seems to get nicer every time I play it. Such a cool old-school layout with way more character than you’d expect from a city course. You can tell they’ve been putting real work into the property and it’s paying off.

Hidden gem in Western Mass. Discovered it randomly 4 years ago and have since established a standing yearly outing with a huge crew. Phenomenal value, and a really tricky course that is extremely well kept.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Massachusetts. Rankings refresh about hourly.
