NEWTON COMMONWEALTH GOLF COURSE

Donald Ross's 1927 routing through Newton's rolling suburban terrain delivers unexpected championship character just miles from downtown Boston. The downhill par-3 6th plays like a miniature Pinehurst with its crowned green that sheds anything but the most precise iron shots, while the uphill finish demands every club in your bag across elevation changes that would challenge any private club member. Municipal golf rarely offers this much strategic depth per dollar spent.
