Emerson Armstrong was so strategic with using the undulating land on hand. Bunkers in places balls roll out to, greens filled with excellent sloping, and the fescue is a true detriment if wayward off the tee.

Tucked into the middle of nowhere, this absolute gem was potentially the best set up for four ball match play I’ve ever been graced by. You’re on a college campus but as soon as you walk up to the first tee it feels like a step back in time, a quieter time.

Great piece of land and interesting design. Tons of different looks because of the elevation changes and routing.

If this isn't the most fun Donald Ross course to play, I don't know what is. One of the great members clubs in America. Quirk in every good way possible. The back may be the best 9 in Massachusetts (saying a lot).

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Massachusetts. Rankings refresh about hourly.
