Fore Kicks Golf in Norfolk, Massachusetts, is a Brian Silva design that opened in the early 2000s as part of a larger sports and entertainment complex. Silva, a New England-based architect known for his restoration work at classic courses and his ability to craft strategic layouts on varied terrain, created a course that serves both serious golfers and families visiting the facility's other recreational amenities. The property sits in the suburban landscape south of Boston, where rolling topography typical of southeastern Massachusetts provides natural movement across the layout.
The routing takes advantage of the site's elevation changes and existing woodland corridors, with holes playing through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors. Silva's design philosophy emphasizes playability across skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green contours, bunker placement, and risk-reward options on approach shots. The course functions as an accessible daily-fee facility within the broader Fore Kicks complex, which includes indoor soccer fields and other sports venues, giving it a distinct character as a multi-use recreational destination rather than a traditional standalone golf club.
The Norfolk location places Fore Kicks within reach of both Boston's southern suburbs and communities along the Route 495 corridor, serving a regional market that values convenient access and family-friendly amenities. The course reflects Silva's practical approach to modern golf design, balancing shot values with pace of play considerations appropriate for its role in a high-traffic entertainment facility.
Reviews
Perfect course for a beginner! Par 3, nine holes. It was quiet and peaceful which made it less nerve wracking for a beginner. Definitely nothing fancy but greens are maintained and course is good for beginners, good chipping practice. Everything is well marked.
