Pine Valley Country Club

Pine Valley Country Club in Rehoboth, Massachusetts occupies a wooded site in the southeastern part of the state, not far from the Rhode Island border. The course was designed by Geoffrey Cornish and William Robinson and opened in 1961. Cornish, a prolific New England architect who designed or redesigned hundreds of courses across the region, brought his characteristic approach to routing and green design to this property, working the layout through rolling terrain and stands of pine and hardwood. The course measures around 6,500 yards from the back tees and plays as a par 71. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and greens that often sit above or below fairway level. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, and the tree-lined corridors require accuracy off the tee. The greens are moderately contoured, typical of Cornish's work, and the bunkering is traditional in style. Pine Valley operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee play. The club has served as a venue for regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years. The setting is quiet and rural, with views of the surrounding Massachusetts countryside. The course is well-regarded locally as a solid test of golf in a natural, unpretentious environment.
