George Wright Golf Course

George Wright Golf Course sits in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts — an 18-hole public layout designed by Donald Ross and opened in 1938, with construction completed by Walter Irving Johnson. The course was funded through the Works Progress Administration, situating its origins within the broader New Deal–era investment in public recreation infrastructure. At par 70 and 6,440 yards, the layout occupies parkland terrain characterized by the dramatic elevation changes noted across its routing. The course carries significant ranking recognition for a municipal track: Golf Digest has named it the best municipal course in Massachusetts, and Golfweek ranks it 14th among municipal courses nationally. These distinctions make it the most decorated Donald Ross design on the Boston municipal roster and a natural anchor for groups tracing the Donald Ross New England Trail across Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Access is public and price-band is $. Tee times for weekend play are released on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; early booking is advised.
