Boston Golf Club is one of those rare courses that somehow gets better with every hole.

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.

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.

Great par 70, tipped out it’s under 7000 but you don’t want to play the tips unless you’re the real deal. The greens are immaculate and punishing.

Beauty of a course. Fun layout that’s challenging but fair, greens are tricky with pace but hit the line and you make.

Solid newer New England country club with all the fixings. One of the best putting and chipping greens around. Fun track with a lot to offer, blind shots, solid green complex’s, drivable par 4 13th, and a bunch of elevation changes.

Interesting layout with a lesser known designer. Sits right on the water and isn’t very long so wind ends up being the big defense. Great set of par 4s but not too much variety in 5’s. Not much land was used in building and hasn’t changed much at all since 1899.

Tough opening holes with some holes to score on for the last 7 holes. Greens are on the smaller side so hit your fairways and greens or it will be a long day.
