ANDOVER COUNTRY CLUB

The Donald Ross layout threading through Massachusetts' Merrimack Valley rewards strategic thinking over raw power, with its deceptively rolling terrain masking a series of brilliantly angled approach shots. Ross's signature crowned greens and subtle bunkering come alive on the back nine, particularly the downhill par-4 14th where club selection becomes an exercise in pure geometry. This is old-school New England golf at its most refined—no tricks, no gimmicks, just timeless architecture that reveals new layers with every round.
