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).

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
