About this course
Merrimack Valley Golf Club is a semi-private 18-hole, par-70 course in Methuen, Massachusetts, originally designed by Donald Ross in 1906 and owned by the Kattar family since 1971. The course was rebuilt in 2008 by architect George F. Sargent Jr., who preserved several Ross holes and built the rest in that style; it plays 6,016 yards from the gold tees with a 70.0 rating and 128 slope. The property covers about 150 acres of rolling ground with views toward the wooded hills of southern New Hampshire, and the card carries seven par threes. The clubhouse, added with the renovation, looks out over 14 of the 18 holes, and there is a short-game area with a practice bunker but no driving range.

Ould Newbury Golf Club
Newbury, MA · 13 mi away
Ould Newbury Golf Club is a nine-hole, semi-private course in Newbury, off Route 1. It sits on rolling ground near the Parker River marshes, a short drive from downtown Newburyport. The club opened on September 4, 1916, making it one of the older continuously operating clubs on the North Shore. Benjamin Pearson, Dr. Charles S. Ingham, and Joseph Dummer led the effort to lease 60 acres from Governor Dummer Academy and raised $10,000 for construction in 1915. Scottish architect and golfer Jim Lowe directed the layout. The course measures roughly 3,100 yards to a par of 35. A full round plays to about 6,200 yards because the second nine uses different tees. The property's varied terrain and elevated, well-defended greens are notable. The club maintains an unpretentious approach with accessible dues and public tee times alongside member play. A renovated pub and deck contribute to a neighborhood club atmosphere. The season runs from April through the fall.
