TCC is the best track I’ve played in Ma. The rough is miserable. The layout is fun, the greens are no joke, and the experience is top notch. It’s a beautiful property. Almost every hole is memorable, it’s not the US Open layout but it’s close.

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

Even stripping away the ambiance, this place has an exceptional variety of par 3s, 4s, and 5s. It demands precision and shot shaping.

Myopia has such old school character and charm. So rarely do you get not only a sense of place but time (or rather, timelessness) as well from a property. Horses, idyllic mossy ponds, fescue and rollicking hills, granite rocks and tube-shaped bunkers…

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).

OS’s best feature is a very serene walkway from the clubhouse over a pond over to the first tee. It’s all downhill after that; a few very good holes (1,2,5) but not altogether up to the character and shot quality of other T100 courses.

Idyllic setting, weave your way from seaside links to marsh and woodland and back out to the coast. Such a great set of greens, lovely bunkering and mounding. Wind was a real factor (steady 15-20mphs all round LOL) and can certainly add difficulty to the course.

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.

The layout is a ton of fun, with mostly friendly wide fairways to receive shots, but some tricky greens to provide a challenge. A very scoreable course if the wind is down, and always a ton of fun.

Hyannisport Club is classic Cape Cod golf at its finest. This historic Donald Ross design proves you don’t need massive yardage to create a memorable challenge.

It’s hard. Not overly memorable for most of the round until the final 3. It’s a solid take but gets a lot of play so don’t expect to be blown away but fairways and greens. Great practice area. Solid clubhouse. Fun finishing hole.

Sick layout. Best first tee box I’ve ever played, second hole is really cool. Great conditions and a blast. Hard but not too punishing

Classic Donald Ross design with a New England edge. Rolling fairways, rocky outcrops, and sharp elevation changes make every shot a decision. The bunkering feels natural but punishes anything lazy, and when the greens are firm, they’re downright ruthless.

Back 9 was incredible stretch of holes. Bunkering was amazing on every hole, especially greenside bunkers on Par 3 2nd and Par 5 14th.

Incredible experience throughout the day, from minute one until the very end! The redesign of the course is phenomenal, really strong layout, great green complexes, the strongest 4 par threes as a collective I’ve played anywhere.
