Golf in Plymouth, Massachusetts

Plymouth, Massachusetts, known as "America's Hometown," boasts 13 golf courses in total. The town itself encompasses 134 square miles, making it the largest municipality by area in the Commonwealth. Its golf offerings span a wide spectrum, ranging from exclusive private clubs to daily-fee executive courses:

• Old Sandwich (Private): Ultra-exclusive and consistently rated among the Top 100 golf courses in the country, this track is a true Coore & Crenshaw gem.

• Plymouth Country Club (Private): A classic Donald Ross design near the coast that offers a significant challenge, it also proudly hosts the Hornblower, a marquee amateur tournament.

• Pinehills (Public): An upscale, 36-hole public facility featuring world-class designs by Rees Jones and Nicklaus Design.

• Crosswinds (Public): A 27-hole layout designed by Hurdzan/Fry, known for offering both great value and a significant challenge.

• Waverly Oaks (Public): Located just off Route 3 and right next to Crosswinds, Brian Silva’s masterful design will leave you remembering several distinct holes long after your round.

• Atlantic Golf Club (Public): A sneaky-good course that offers immense value. We hosted a tournament there back in the day, and I still remember thinking it doesn't get nearly as much buzz as it deserves.

• Southers Marsh GC (Public): A unique par-61 course that is best played during the autumn cranberry harvest, as the holes wind directly through active bogs. If your iron game is shoddy, however, this layout is unrelenting.

• Squirrel Run and Village Links (Public): Perfect for beginners given their shorter lengths, these courses are also great for skilled golfers looking to dial in their iron play and short game.

• White Cliffs (Private): This executive course winds through a gated residential community adjacent to Route 3, featuring several spectacular holes that overlook Cape Cod Bay.

Plymouth is far and away the golf capital of Massachusetts.  Nationwide, it has to be one of the best "golfing" towns with its' array of both public daily fee and exclusive private courses.
