Blackstone National Golf Club

Blackstone National Golf Club in Sutton, Massachusetts, opened in 2003 as a daily-fee facility designed by Rees Jones. The course occupies rolling terrain in the Blackstone River Valley region of central Massachusetts, roughly forty miles southwest of Boston. Jones routed the layout across varied topography that includes elevation changes, natural wetlands, and wooded corridors typical of the New England landscape. The design incorporates strategic bunkering and water hazards that come into play on several holes, reflecting Jones's reputation for creating courses that test accuracy and course management. The property features a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with fairways that move through both upland areas and lower-lying sections near wetland zones. Several holes require carries over water or marshland, while others play along ridgelines with views across the surrounding countryside. The greens are moderately contoured, and the bunkering style follows Jones's architectural approach of defining playing corridors and framing target areas. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee options accommodate different skill levels. Blackstone National operates as a public-access facility and has served as a venue for regional amateur competitions and qualifiers. The course fits within the broader context of New England daily-fee golf, offering a Rees Jones design in a market traditionally dominated by private clubs and older municipal courses. The clubhouse provides standard amenities including dining and event space.
