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.
