Golfweek just listed the best private golf courses for each state in the U.S. for 2026, and the South Shore is represented high on the list for Massachusetts.
The pre-requisites in order to be included on the list are as follows: the course must be private and not accept daily-fee or resort play. An "m" next to its name means it's a modern course, built in or after 1960, and a "c" denotes a classic course built before 1960.
Want to play the best private golf courses in each state, or just curious about what's beyond those gates and hedges? Here are your options in Massachusetts.
Vineyard Golf Club, located in Edgartown, Massachusetts on the island of Martha's Vineyard, spans 235 acres and is comprised of a front nine and a back nine, creating a complete 18-hole course.
"All skill levels are able to enjoy the course while the challenge in navigating the 112 bunkers around the course is preserved," the Vineyard Golf Club website said. "Vineyard Golf Club is also one of the few 100% organic golf courses in America."
