About this course
Poquoy Brook Golf Course is a public facility in Lakeville, Massachusetts, designed by Geoffrey Cornish, one of New England's most prolific golf course architects. Cornish, who practiced from the mid-20th century through the 1990s, designed or redesigned hundreds of courses across the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, typically creating accessible layouts that work within natural terrain and regional budgets. His designs tend to emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the rolling topography and wooded character common to southeastern Massachusetts. The course occupies land in Plymouth County, part of the coastal plain region south of Boston where sandy soils and glacial features shape the landscape. Lakeville sits among numerous ponds and wetlands, and courses in this area often route through mixed hardwood forests with elevation changes modest by New England standards. Cornish's approach generally favored strategic bunkering and green contours that reward thoughtful play without requiring excessive length or forced carries. As a public course designed during Cornish's active period, Poquoy Brook likely serves the local golfing community with a straightforward test that reflects the architect's practical design philosophy. The facility provides recreational golf in a region with deep ties to the game's development in America, where public access and playable conditions have long been priorities alongside the preservation of natural settings.

Getting there
The journey to Poquoy Brook Golf Course begins at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), roughly fifty miles northeast, followed by a direct drive south through the rolling woodlands and quiet residential corridors of southeastern Massachusetts that characterize the region between Boston and the Rhode Island border. The final leg carries you through Lakeville proper, where the landscape softens into the oak and pine forests typical of this corner of the Massachusetts countryside, before arriving at the club's understated entrance. For those with access to private aviation, nearby facilities such as Mansfield Municipal Airport (1B9) or Norwood Memorial Airport (OWD) offer convenient alternatives to the major hub. The entire journey from Boston typically requires just over an hour, depositing you at a course that embodies the quiet, unpretentious character of New England's classic club golf.
