Golf course restoration has blessed my era of armchair architects.

As an Ohioan, I’ve been fortunate to reap the benefits at several notable projects near the movement’s fore, such as Keith Foster’s revealing at Moraine and the Inverness project that made Andrew Green the nation’s most in-demand Ross renovator. At the same time, big names like Tom Doak and Gil Hans...

Dynamite in construction and design.

The course feels like Boston as soon as you step out of the car with the grand old clubhouse, mature trees and rock outcroppings. Was 1st off and able to watch the sun rise over a cool morning on the beautiful course. The kind of place I wish all cities had for public access. This was a few years ag...

Uniquely Boston

George Wright Golf Course is a bricolage of Boston.

At first glance, it appears cold and uninviting. You have to earn it's trust, but once you do, it reveals its loyalty and rich character.If your first round at George Wright is anything like mine, you'll consider logging onto EBay to sell your golf clubs at a steep discount. Blind tee shots, false f...

During the Winter of 22/23 new tees have been added on a few holes and the 10th hole remodelled, with fairway bunkers removed and the hole opened up more. I understand that this improvement will continue over the coming off seasons.And I'm delighted that this is the case, because George Wright deser...

If you are in the Boston area, I cannot recommend George Wright enough.

The municipal golf courses in my area definitely do not look like this. The course was in great shape, and the layout was thought provoking and challenging. Next time I am in the Boston area, I will absolutely be playing here again, and I look forward to playing with the knowledge of what is hiding ...

One of the advantages of the Tiger Woods era is that golfers are now athletes.

Having cleverly booked to play George Wright on the Patriots Day holiday, I’d have the place to myself. Local golfers would surely be occupied for a few hours running the Boston Marathon dressed as Paul Revere or his horse? Well, it turns out not all Golfers in Boston are distance runners & the cour...

Could be a 5 with a little TLC.

But otherwise is an excellent muni that is better than most high end public courses. A very challenging par 70 that requires you to use the movement of the terrain to play your best, especially on 5,7, and 10. A number of blind shots, so hit to where you can see it.

I didn’t get the hype towards George Wright till I drove up to the parking lot.

From the start, I could tell that this was going to be a special round. The course features a classic clubhouse, intimidating all from its perch on top of a hill. A timeless clubhouse, I immediately understood that this is a place for serious golf. The course being a Boston city course, plays much b...
