R & A GC OF SOMERVILLE

This public track carved through Scituate's coastal New England terrain delivers honest golf without pretense, where elevation changes and mature hardwoods frame shots that reward course management over raw distance. The routing takes full advantage of the rolling topography, particularly on the back nine where doglegs through oak and maple corridors demand precision over power. At 72 par with enough bite to test single-digit handicaps, it's the kind of straightforward design that lets your game do the talking.
