Marion Golf Club
Marion, MA · 11 mi away
Marion Golf Club is a nine-hole public course in Marion, Massachusetts, near Cape Cod. It opened in 1904 as the first design credited to George C. Thomas Jr., who later created Riviera, Bel-Air, and the North Course at Los Angeles Country Club. The course winds through former farmland, with original stone walls still in play as hazards on several holes. Playing to about 2,685 yards and a par of 34, Marion Golf Club is a walking-friendly layout with flat fairways, circular greens, and squarish bunkers reflecting its early-1900s design. It is the town's only public course and has been kept afloat over the decades by local caretakers and, more recently, a group of Marion natives who took over its lease to preserve public access.
