Shaker Hills Golf Club
Harvard, MA · 5.8 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.
Sandy Burr Country Club
Wayland, MA · 9.1 mi away
Sandy Burr Country Club is located along the Sudbury River in Wayland, Massachusetts, about 16 miles west of Boston. The club formed in 1921 on land combining two former farms, and Donald Ross served as the designing architect, with the first nine holes completed in 1923 and the second nine finished in 1924. The course occupies a compact, walkable routing with short green-to-tee connections rather than a sprawling resort-style layout, and several holes run along low, marshy ground near the river. From the back tees it plays to roughly 6,427 yards at a par of 72, with quick, sloping greens serving as the course's main defense. Owned by the same family for four generations, Sandy Burr operates on a daily green fee basis with an "Inner Club" available for members seeking competitive play, and it regularly hosts Massachusetts Golf Association events.

Red Tail 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.
