Strawberry Valley Golf Club

Strawberry Valley Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in Abington, a town in Plymouth County roughly twenty-five miles south of Boston. The course was designed by Samuel Mitchell and opened in the mid-1960s, part of the era's expansion of daily-fee golf facilities serving the growing suburban population along Massachusetts Route 18. The layout reflects Mitchell's straightforward approach to public course design, with holes routed over varied topography that includes modest elevation changes and natural wetland areas typical of southeastern Massachusetts. The course measures just over 6,400 yards from the back tees and plays as a par 72. Several holes incorporate water hazards fed by seasonal streams, and mature tree growth along many fairways has tightened landing areas since the original planting. The front nine moves through more open ground, while the back nine features tighter corridors and more pronounced slopes. The property's natural drainage and sandy subsoil provide generally firm conditions, though low-lying areas can retain moisture during wet periods. Strawberry Valley serves a local membership and daily-fee clientele from the South Shore region. The club maintains a casual atmosphere oriented toward recreational play, with a modest clubhouse and practice facilities. The course sees steady use from area golfers seeking accessible golf within a reasonable drive from Brockton, Weymouth, and the surrounding communities. It remains a fixture of the region's public golf landscape, offering straightforward holes and traditional New England course character without pretense.
