The Meadow at Peabody

The Meadow at Peabody is a public golf course in Peabody, Massachusetts, designed by Mark Mungeam and Timothy Gerrish. Mungeam, a respected New England architect known for restoration work and thoughtful new designs throughout the region, collaborated with Gerrish on this layout. The course serves the North Shore area of Greater Boston, providing accessible golf in a region with a rich golfing tradition that includes several historic private clubs. The property occupies former meadowland in Peabody, a city located roughly twenty miles north of Boston. The routing takes advantage of the natural terrain, which typically features moderate elevation changes and open spaces characteristic of reclaimed agricultural or meadow landscapes in this part of Massachusetts. Courses on such sites often incorporate wetland areas and require strategic bunkering and shaping to define holes across relatively open ground. As a municipal facility, The Meadow serves a broad range of golfers from the surrounding communities. Public courses in the Boston area often balance playability for recreational golfers with enough challenge to engage more skilled players. The design likely reflects this dual mandate, offering multiple tee options and strategic variety across the eighteen holes. The course contributes to the public golf infrastructure in a region where access to quality daily-fee golf remains important to the local golfing community.
