Long Meadow at Long Meadow Golf Club

Long Meadow, nestled in the Merrimack Valley, is a testament to early 20th-century golf design, its gently rolling terrain a departure from the more rugged landscapes often associated with Massachusetts golf. The course, characterized by mature trees lining generous fairways, rewards strategic play over brute power, subtly favoring those who can work the ball, especially on approaches to the subtly sloping greens. Many holes feature doglegs and strategic bunkering that demand thoughtful club selection and precise placement.

Originally laid out by an uncredited, but obviously talented hand from the Golden Age, Long Meadow has remained largely unchanged, a quiet tribute to its original vision. Though not the site of national championships, it has hosted numerous regional amateur events, serving as a proving ground for rising talents in New England.

For decades, Long Meadow has been a cornerstone of the Lowell golfing community, known as a welcoming club with a deeply rooted local membership. Its clubhouse is famed for its hearty, post-round fare and the convivial atmosphere where tales of near misses and clutch putts are shared with equal gusto.
