Acushnet River Valley Golf Club

Acushnet River Valley Golf Club occupies land steeped in old New England history, where the echoes of early American industry meet the modern pursuit of par. Carved from the rolling, former farmlands of Southeastern Massachusetts, this publicly accessible course presents a classic, unpretentious golfing experience. Designed by Geoffrey Cornish, the course favors a strategic, rather than overpowering, game. The parkland style layout, with its tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens, rewards thoughtful club selection and precise approach shots. While not overly long, the course features several doglegs and strategically placed bunkers that demand careful navigation. It's a course where local knowledge, especially regarding the subtle breaks on the greens, can make all the difference. Acushnet River Valley, while not a tournament venue, holds a special place within its community. The club hosts numerous local charity events and amateur tournaments, fostering a welcoming atmosphere for golfers of all skill levels. After a round, regulars and visitors alike can often be found enjoying the clubhouse's casual atmosphere and sharing stories of near misses and unexpected triumphs, solidifying the course's status as a beloved local institution.
