Shining Rock Golf Club

Grafton, MA · 4.3 mi away

Highfields Golf & Country Club occupies the former Magill family dairy farm in Grafton, transformed into a public eighteen that opened in 2002. The layout was shaped by Geoffrey Cornish, Mark Mungeam and Brian Silva, and plays to a par of 72 across roughly 7,000 yards from the tips. Rolling farmland terrain and open sightlines give the course a pastoral feel in the Blackstone Valley. Still owned by the Magill family, it draws golfers from across central Massachusetts for its accessible public play and well-conditioned greens.

Sutton, MA · 5.3 mi away

Blackstone National Golf Club is located in Sutton, Massachusetts, in the wooded hill country of Central Massachusetts. Rees Jones designed the 18-hole course, which opened in 2000 and follows the natural contours of the hilly, tree-lined property. Jones has described the design approach at Blackstone as shaping created elements to look natural while emphasizing the visual impact of each hole from the tee. The course plays to a par of 72 at roughly 6,900 yards and has been counted among the region's stronger public tests. The club operates as a public facility with online and phone tee time booking, cart and range fees, and a grill room, the National Grill, overlooking the 18th hole and practice green.

Bellingham, MA · 10 mi away

New England Country Club has occupied its property in Bellingham, Massachusetts since 1903, making it a long-running golf destination in the region south of Boston. Despite its public access, the club has the look and feel of a private course thanks to its rolling hills and tree-lined fairways. The 18-hole championship course was designed by Hale Irwin and offers multiple tee boxes that give each hole a distinct character for players of different abilities. The property is home to deer, fox, and other wildlife, and has hosted competitive events including New England Public Links Championship qualifying and NCAA Division II regional play. Amenities include a grass driving range, practice bunkers, a putting green, and a grille room with patio seating. Tee times can be booked up to seven days in advance, and the club also hosts outings and group events.
