The investment the city has put into this 1938 Donald Ross gem is paying dividends. George Wright, just 10 miles southwest of downtown Boston, and in great shape for the amount of play it gets, is one of the top 10 public courses in Massachusetts. Not too shabby for a muni that was down and out a little more than 10 years ago. A par-70, it plays to just 6,440 yards but offers plenty of classic Ross challenges—enough to keep the players at the 2018 Massachusetts Amateur Championship scrambling. Expect strategic, top-level golf holes with blind shots, doglegs, well-protected greens, and tight fairways tunneling through chutes of trees. Though walkable, you’ll definitely get a workout traversing the hilly terrain. The huge, brick Norman style clubhouse is pretty spectacular too. Expect a brisk pace on weekday mornings, but you may be backed up at peak times.
