Massachusetts hosts 224 named golf courses and country clubs distributed across 192 cities and 14 counties, according to data drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System. The GNIS, the federal gazetteer of named places, provides the geographic foundation for this directory, ensuring that each entry represents a real, named facility organized by its municipal and county location.

The directory should be understood as a partial and time-lagged snapshot of golf facilities in the state. The GNIS catalogs named geographic features rather than operating businesses, which means that newly built or recently renamed courses may not yet appear in the system, and course information such as public-or-private designation, green fees, and layout specifications fall outside the scope of the federal record.

The directory serves as a tool for locating and identifying courses by city and county. To obtain current information about a specific course's operating hours, rates, availability, and booking procedures, visitors should consult the course's own website directly.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Massachusetts directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
