Common questions about Boston golf

What are the best public golf courses near Boston?
By LooperScore, the top-rated public golf within 45 miles of downtown Boston is George Wright Golf Course in Hyde Park (86.0), Pinehills Golf Club (Jones Course) in Plymouth (84.9) and Waverly Oaks Golf Club in Plymouth (83.4).

How many golf courses are within 45 miles of Boston?
BogeyMap publishes 97 public, resort and semi-private golf courses within 45 miles of downtown Boston, and 97 of them carry a LooperScore. The radius is measured in a straight line, so it can include courses across a state line. Private clubs are not counted.
Can you play private golf courses near Boston as a guest?
Usually only with a member. Most private clubs near Boston require a member to sponsor or join you. Some allow limited non-member play through a hotel stay, a stay-and-play package or off-season tee times. BogeyMap Pro lists those documented paths, and the club always has the final say.
How are golf courses near Boston ranked?
By LooperScore, BogeyMap's own 0-100 rating. It combines course quality signals, verified golfer ratings and editorial review of each Boston-area course. We never republish another publication's rankings, and a course shows a score only once the supporting evidence exists, so some courses are listed without one.
