Newton Commonwealth Golf Course

Newton Commonwealth Golf Course sits in Newton, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, in a parkland setting of narrow, tree-lined fairways. The layout traces its origins to 1897, making it one of the older municipal courses in New England. Donald Ross redesigned the course in 1920, reworking the original Commonwealth Club layout. It plays to par 70 at 5,354 yards across 18 holes. A public daily-fee course since the 1970s, Newton Commonwealth is noted as the most affordable 18-hole Donald Ross round in New England, with greens fees typically running $25–$30. It is a stop on the Donald Ross New England Trail, which traces Ross designs across Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.
