Butter Brook Golf Club

Devens, MA · 9.2 mi away

Red Tail Golf Club sits in Devens, Massachusetts, on land that was part of the former Fort Devens army base roughly 35 miles west of Boston. The course was built over former barracks foundations and an old ammunition storage area, and remnants of that military history, including a guard tower and munitions bunkers, remain visible along the layout. Brian Silva designed the 18-hole course, which opened in 2002 and plays to a par of 72 at roughly 7,000 yards. The routing separates into two nines divided by about a quarter mile, and greens are shaped to blend into the surrounding hillsides, with sandy waste areas on some holes and blind shots on others. Red Tail operates as a public course open to daily-fee play. Carts and a pro shop are available, and the course was recognized as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in New England.

Harvard, MA · 9.3 mi away

Shaker Hills Golf Club sits in Harvard, Massachusetts, near the town's historic Shaker Village, with its clubhouse located just over the line in Ayer. Brian Silva designed the course, which opened in 1991. The par-72 layout plays to roughly 6,850 to 6,900 yards from the back tees over 163 acres, with forest-lined fairways that demand accurate ball striking. The club changed ownership after a 2012 foreclosure auction, and the new owners renovated the clubhouse and made course improvements, including adding a new 18th hole and green closer to the clubhouse. Shaker Hills operates as a public course with bentgrass tees, fairways, and greens, and has hosted local U.S. Open qualifying rounds. It offers a driving range, practice areas, and banquet facilities for events.

Hollis, NH · 15 mi away

Overlook Golf Club is a public, 18-hole course in Hollis, New Hampshire, along the Nashua River near the Massachusetts border. Designed by architect David Friel and opened around 1989, the course was built with natural wetlands, sculpted bunkers and stands of pine trees framing many of its holes. It plays to a par of 71 from the back tees, with several sets of tees offering a range of yardages for different skill levels. Despite being open to the public, the course has a private club feel due to its relatively secluded setting and mature landscaping. Overlook hosts corporate and group outings and is positioned as a traditional, championship-style test for golfers in the greater Nashua area.
