Merrimack Valley Golf Club sits in Methuen, Massachusetts, in the greater Merrimack Valley region of northeastern Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border. The course holds a documented place in Donald Ross's New England work as the second course he designed in the region, completed in 1906. In 2008, George F. Sargent Jr. led a restoration that addressed drainage problems and recovered original Ross design features. The course plays to par 71 across 18 holes and is open as a public daily-fee facility at a budget-friendly price point. On the Donald Ross New England Trail, Merrimack Valley Golf Club serves as a connector between the Boston Metro and New Hampshire Mountain sub-trails, making it a logical stop for groups routing through the region on the full trail itinerary.
