DEDHAM COUNTRY & POLO CLUB

The Donald Ross routing through these rolling Massachusetts hills rewards precision over power, with elevated greens that demand intimate knowledge of New England's fickle winds. Ross's strategic bunkering forces difficult decisions on every approach, particularly on the par-4 dogleg where members either challenge the corner or accept a longer iron into the sloped putting surface. This is thinking man's golf where course management trumps raw distance, and the subtly contoured greens will humble anyone who takes them lightly.
