THE LINKS AT MASS GOLF

Geoffrey Cornish's rolling Massachusetts design challenges every club in the bag across varied elevation changes that feel more like Vermont than the Bay State. The par-4 12th drops 60 feet from tee to green through a chute of maples, while the uphill 16th demands a long iron approach that reveals why this became the Massachusetts Golf Association's championship venue. Strategic bunkering and firm conditions reward precision over power, making it a thinking player's test that punches well above its public price point.
