WILLIAM J. DEVINE GOLF COURSE

Boston's municipal gem delivers surprising challenge across rolling parkland that belies its urban setting, with the par-4 13th's elevated tee shot over wetlands serving as the course's signature moment. The Donald Ross-inspired routing maximizes every inch of the property, weaving around mature oaks and through natural elevation changes that create blind shots and strategic angles most city courses can't match. At under $50 for 18 holes, this track proves municipal golf doesn't have to mean mediocre golf.
