The best courses you can play in Massachusetts

“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.”

“interesting routing with the low point of the course being the clubhouse but makes for some epic blind tee shots coming down the hills where the ball is in the air forever. My one wish would be aiming posts on a few holes as there are long blind shots…”

“Hidden gem in Western Mass. Discovered it randomly 4 years ago and have since established a standing yearly outing with a huge crew. Phenomenal value, and a really tricky course that is extremely well kept.”

“One of the best muni’s in the country. Old Ross layout with dynamic greens, it’s a hilly walk but worth it. If playing for the first time get a GPS going so you know where to hit it, a lot of blind shots!”

“Easily walkable, very quiet. Condition was excellent and there are a variety of holes that test lots of different shots. Plenty of length from the back at ~6700. Greens were rolling fast and true, and there were some really fun pin placements.”

“Kettle Brook is a really solid public track with plenty of elevation change, interesting green complexes, and enough variety to keep you hitting different shots all day. Definitely tougher than it looks on paper, especially when the wind gets going.”

“3 9’s on property. I played Red/White, which is most common combo for 18. I think White/Blue is an option too, which I will go back to try so I can test out the links track(blue). Overall fun track with greens in great shape.”

“Layout stands out at this old school cape gem. Great bones and conditions for a relatively cheap public course make it worthwhile.”

“Fantastic public course. Perfect fairways and fast greens. Course has exceptional views and a good restaurant. Pro shop is well stocked but pricier than most. Great practice area with trackman stations. Matt range is the only small negative I would say about this place.”

“They are on National Seashore Property so they cannot use any chemicals. Some areas reflect that but the greens are well maintained. The views are spectacular, right next to the Atlantic Ocean and a Lighthouse, every shot offers a new backdrop.”
