If Fenway Park has the Green Monster, Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth, 40
miles south of Boston, has 36 monster greens in the form of two courses, by
Rees Jones and Jack Nicklaus II. Jones, who first gained prominence with his
restoration of The Country Club, returned to the Boston area to build the
first of Pinehills’ two layouts, which opened in 2001. A year later,
Nicklaus used the rolling landscape to design a challenging layout as
good as many of his father’s designs. | 41 miles to Fenway Park | | Par: | 72 (Jones course) 72 (Nicklaus course) | | Yardage: | 7,175 (Jones) 7,243 (Nicklaus) | | Architects: | Rees Jones Jack Nicklaus II | | pinehillsgolf.com |
