Getting there

Sandy Burr Country Club sits in the rolling woodlands of suburban Boston, accessible most directly via Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), roughly forty minutes southwest by car through the gentle transitions of the MetroWest corridor. The drive itself traces a quiet arc from urban density into the leafy residential landscape of Wayland, where tree-lined roads and stone walls signal entry into one of New England's most established golfing enclaves. For those with access to private aviation, nearby Hanscom Field (BED) in Bedford offers a considerably more discreet arrival, positioning you mere minutes from the club's entrance. The final miles unfold through classic New England terrain - manicured estates and mature oaks giving way to the understated elegance of Sandy Burr's championship layout, a destination that has anchored the region's golf culture for over a century.
