What are the top public golf courses in Massachusetts?
It depends who you ask. In the case of GolfPass' annual Golfers Choice ranking lists, you are the expert, along with thousands of your fellow golfers.
We compile our annual Golfers' Choice lists by analyzing the ratings and reviews submitted by members of our community - golfers like you - throughout the previous year. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages. Courses must offer public access and have received at least one review in 2023 to be eligible for this year's list. If you want to play any of these courses, hover your browser over the course photo and if tee times are available, you can click to book directly.

The 20 best public golf courses in Massachusetts
-
Pinehills Golf Club - Jones Course
Plymouth, MassachusettsSemi-PrivateGreen fee: $90
What they're saying: "Top notch course. Top Notch hospitality. Top notch restaurant. Enjoyed every minute of our day at Pinehills and will definitely be returning. Bonus points for the starter Peter. Great friendly guy!" - u5835923 -
The Ranch Golf Club
Green fee: $95
What they're saying: "The Ranch is one of my favorite courses in New England. Pristine and challenging, it has many of the amenities of a top-end resort course but without the pretentiousness. Much of the course's challenges lie with the elevation changes, which also provide stellar views. Good shots are rewarded, off-course shots are punished, and the course is scorable without being repetitive. I'll make this course an annual trek and look forward to that tee time every fall." - CParish860 -
Edgewood Golf Club

The Brookside Club
Green fee: $65
What they're saying: "I have played this course many times and have always enjoyed the layout. Upon arrival this time I was informed the greens had been sanded. There was no mention of this when I booked through the site. Needless to say it was very disappointing. There needs to be a warning on this site when these conditions are present." - u584114632 -
Pinehills Golf Club - Nicklaus Course
Plymouth, MassachusettsSemi-PrivateGreen fee: $90
What they're saying: "Perfect weather, perfect course conditions, made for a great day! The second excellent course at the Pinehills, the Nicklaus Course was very challenging, mainly due to the precarious pin placement. For mid October the course was in unbelievable shape, from tee boxes to fairways, rough and greens, the course was pristine. Highly recommend this or the Jones courses here at the Pinehills, in Plymouth, MA." - u314161724771 -
Green Harbor Golf Club
Green fee: $40
What they're saying: "For early February everything was good. They always do a great job. Conditions were good except the 12th (oh well). They turned it in to a par 3. (no big deal). The staff is always friendly. Looking forward to a great 2024 season at Green Harbor Golf Course." - u972929735 -
Westover Golf Club
Green fee: $51
What they're saying: "We live almost an hour away and this is our favorite course!! The course is well maintained. No leaves on the fairway or greens. Pace of play was quicker on the front nine but we played in 4 hours. Try this course, you will not be disappointed. Oh another fun part of playing is the Westover Air Force base next door. They are practicing their manuevers throughout the day. Planes flying over you. Really cool" - jenbag23 -
