Newton Commonwealth Golf Course
 |
The Newton Commonwealth Golf Course is an 18-hole public golf course located in Newton, Massachusetts, just outside the city of Boston. This course was originally created as a nine-hole course in 1897 and was previously named the Commonwealth Club.[1][2] The course expanded into an 18-hole course and was redesigned by influential golf course designer and Newton resident Donald Ross. The course was converted into a public course in the late 1970s when the city of Newton purchased the Chestnut Hill Country Club because of the club's financial instability.[3]
The course is currently managed by Sterling Golf Management Inc., and has a course rating of 67.0 with a slope rating of 125.[1]
