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.

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…

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.

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.

Unique course with about 4 holes playing on an island in the middle of a river. You can see the remnants of an old cycling course.

Course was very average all around for the most part. Its brightest spot is most definitely the conditioning and quality of the greens.

Greens and bunkering are fantastic after the resto/reno work they did. Pace of play is key here and the clubhouse is an awesome hang. Underrated old school gem in a bustling golf neighborhood
