The best courses you can play in New Bedford, Massachusetts

“As long as you have decent distance off the tee and a good mid-iron game you can tear this place up. Greens are pure and hold the ball exceptionally well. Lots of subtle ridges and break in the greens. Fun hazards and well placed bunkers make approach shots important.”

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

“Pleasantly surprised with Crosswinds in Plymouth, MA, a 27-hole public facility designed by Hurdzan/Fry southeast of Boston. I played the Zaharias & Jones nines, which both had more undulation & shot variety than I expected.”

“The course changes from Parkland to links style (even though it’s not directly on the water) after 11 or so holes. Pretty unique layout”

“Well conditioned and cool clubhouse. I hate the layout tho and some holes are just downright stupid (only have played front 9, so grain of salt there)”

“Great municipal course. Greens are exceptional for any course let alone a muni Bunkers and tee boxes are sore spots as is pace on weekends later in the day and weekday evenings behind leagues.”

“Very nice greens. Solid layout with reachable par 5s and some tricky shots. Last 2 holes are very disappointing. It feels like the designers just ran out of space and just jammed two short par 4s with little memorable features to close out an otherwise fine course.”

“I hadn’t played here in over 5 years, and it used to be known as the Groupon course, the place was littered with newbies that backed up the round and slowed it down to a snails pace.”

“Much tougher than it seems. Gary in the pro shop is a legend. Greens aren’t perfect and they can trick you easily. Solid course for an amateur architect built in the 50s. Restaurant is amazing. Good value and must play if you visit Aquidneck island .”
