Leo J. Martin Memorial Golf Course

About this course
Leo J. Martin Memorial Golf Course, a classic public layout nestled in Weston, Massachusetts, bears the distinct mark of mid-century design, offering a welcoming challenge to golfers of all skill levels. The course is carved through gently rolling, tree-lined terrain, a parkland style layout that favors strategic play over brute power. While the fairways are generous, subtle doglegs and well-placed bunkers require thoughtful club selection and precise approaches. Local lore suggests that weekend foursomes have been known to settle particularly vexing bets with a sudden-death match on the deceptively challenging par-3 17th. Originally conceived by Geoffrey Cornish, the course reflects a classic parkland sensibility from the 1960's, prioritizing playability and accessibility. Cornish was known for his designs catering to everyday players, rather than catering to length. The course remains largely unchanged, retaining its original character and charm. While not host to major championships, Leo J. Martin Memorial is a beloved community hub, a place where generations of golfers have learned the game and fostered a deep appreciation for the sport. Known as a “player-friendly” course, it remains a highly active recreational facility.

Getting there
Logan International Airport (BOS) in Boston serves as the primary gateway, positioned just twenty miles east of Weston - a drive that typically unfolds in under forty minutes as you trade the harbor's industrial edge for the leafy, winding lanes of one of Greater Boston's most quietly affluent suburbs. The route west along the Massachusetts Turnpike or Route 20 gradually softens into tree-canopied residential roads, where stone walls and colonial estates signal your arrival into a town that has long prized discretion and natural beauty. Leo J. Martin Memorial Golf Course sits tucked within this serene enclave, a municipal gem that feels worlds removed from the city despite its proximity to downtown Boston's spires.
