Golfweek just listed the best golf courses for each state in the U.S. for 2024.
And if you want to play in Massachusetts, they recommend making a trip to the Cape and Islands.
The pre-requisites to be included on this list is as follows: the course must be publicly accessible in some fashion, whether through standard daily green fees or staying at a resort or a hotel.
The second pre-requisite is that there be no membership required to play on the course, with the exception being if the course also allows for hotel guests to play as well.
Now, let’s see which courses made it onto the list.
The number one spot for top golf courses in Massachusetts, according to Golfweek, is the Cape Cod National, which was also ranked as the best in state by Golf Digest as well.
It boasts a par 72 championship course that is 6954 championship quality yards-long with smooth and speedy fairways as well as a plethora of varied tee-shot landing areas. The course was designed by Brian Silva.
To play without a membership, you have to be staying as a hotel guest at the Wequassett Resort.
Taking the number two spot on the list is the Miacomet.
The Miacomet is a modern golf course with a driving range and practice facility, and it has been called one of the best golf courses by Golf Digest.
It is Nantucket Island’s only 18-hole public golf facility. The course features lush rolling fairways of green that range from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet.
You can play by reserving a tee time on the Miacomet’s website.
The Farm Neck golf course is the third best golf course in Mass., according to Golfweek, a course that former presidents have been known to play on.
The first thing that sticks out with the Farm Neck golf course is the variety of environments this course provides.
Golfers will be traversing through woodlands, open meadows, salt marshes and vivid overlooks.
The course also has a well-known reputation for championship-caliber golf.
You can play on this course by paying a seasonal fee or reserving a tee time.
