Pinehills Golf Club — Nicklaus Course

• 🏆Top Courses in Massachusetts #1 — Golf Advisor

Jack Nicklaus II — the Golden Bear's oldest son — designed the Nicklaus Course at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth, Massachusetts, opening in 2002 (some sources 2001). The 7,243-yard par-72 layout sits on rolling pine-and-glacial-moraine terrain about 40 minutes south of Boston. Golf Advisor has consistently named it among the Top Courses in Massachusetts (#5 in 2024, #1 in 2018 and 2020) and Top Courses in New England (#2 in 2017). Its layout earns separate recognition: Top 25 Courses for Layout in the U.S. (#3 in 2017, #17 in 2019). The off-course amenities have ranked among GolfPass's Top 25 in the U.S. for years. Daily-fee pricing keeps it in the $$ band — a strong New England public option that pairs naturally with Cape Cod golf trips.
