Worcester Country Club is one of the most underrated courses in America and definitely amongst my favorites in the Bay State. With an extremely strong Donald Ross parkland layout, an important place in golf history, and wonderful conditions, this is a course I’d go out of my way to play. It’s simply that good. … More Review: Worcester Country Club
Whitinsville proves the point that 9 great holes is superior to trying to squeeze 18 average holes on a small property. Featuring excellent greens, strategic doglegs, and strong bunkering, Whitinsville is the best 9-hole course I’ve played and is certainly one of the best 9-holers in the world. I highly recommend this course to all who enjoy classic architecture and Donald Ross. … More Review: Whitinsville Golf Club
The epitome of a hidden gem, Plymouth Country Club is an excellent Donald Ross design I imagine everyone who plays will enjoy. If you get an opportunity to play here, take it without hesitation. … More Review: Plymouth Country Club
An exclusive summer retreat, The Misquamicut Club is one of the best courses most people have never heard of. With architects like Ross, Raynor, and Bendelow on its pedigree, this old-school course oozes a charm more akin to the Hamptons than Southern Rhode Island. Don’t ever pass up the chance to play here if you somehow get the opportunity! … More Review: The Misquamicut Club
It’s rare you get to play an unadulterated Ross, let alone a municipal one that costs less than $50. George Wright is a fantastic design and my choice for best public course in the immediate Boston area. Featuring a very difficult terrain and numerous blind shots, this is a course all Ross enthusiasts should see and could be one of the best courses in Massachusetts with some TLC. … More Review: George Wright Golf Course
William J. Devine Golf Course at Franklin Park is one of several affordable, public classic gems littered around New England.

I recommend this course to those visiting the Boston area. … More Review: The William J. Devine Golf Course at Franklin Park
The classic Point Judith Country Club is one of the better courses in Rhode Island and one I highly recommend. Expect plenty of fun, excellent conditioning, and some great holes at this old-school gem. … More Review: Point Judith Country Club
Impeccably conditioned, Pocasset is an under-the-radar Donald Ross charmer located in Cape Cod. While on the shorter side, the course features challenging greens and is the type of course I could envision myself playing everyday. … More Review: Pocasset Golf Club
Perhaps the finest sub-par 70 course in the world, the charming Wannamoisett is undoubtedly among America’s finest parkland designs and a true architectural masterpiece on only 97 acres. Annual host of the prestigious Northeast Amateur, Wannamoisett prides itself on impeccable conditioning and features some of the best and most difficult greens in the country. This is an ideal members’ course and is absolutely worth a play if given the opportunity. … More Review: Wannamoisett Country Club
Winnapaug is a conflicting course for me. There’s a lot to like – a good Ross design, reasonable price, and location on the beautiful RI seashore. However, slow pace of play, mediocre conditioning, and lack of upkeep have never put Winnapaug at the top of my list. For visitors to Watch Hill/Westerly, Winnapaug is a solid option, but there are definitely better ones (Shennecossett, Lake of Isles, Meadow Brook) if you’re willing to drive a bit. … More Review: Winnapaug Country Club
