The best courses you can play in Newton, Massachusetts

“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!”

“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.”

“South Shore Country Club is a great example of classic New England golf. The course has a traditional feel with rolling fairways, mature trees, and a layout that’s enjoyable without being overly complicated.”

“Course was in good shape. Nothing special with the layout, two long par 4s and two par 5s are the only non cookie-cutter 350/150 yard par 4/3s respectively. Very flat as well.”

“Pretty well conditioned except for the bunkers. Layout is a bit wacky with a ton of elevation changes but overall fun. Butter Brook nearby is better value”

“Franklin Park is a gem and it only seems to get nicer every time I play it. Such a cool old-school layout with way more character than you’d expect from a city course. You can tell they’ve been putting real work into the property and it’s paying off.”

“The layout is odd, but my main issue was the pin placements. 16 of 18 pins were cut within about 3 paces of the edge of the green. Never seen anything like it— became laughable after a while. Conditions were ok, some scarring on the greens from disease/unrepaired ball marks”
