Overview
An extremely quirky 5,700-yard, par-70 named for the presidents Adams who hailed from Quincy, the club dates back to the 19th century. It was previously called Wollaston Golf Club until Fazio built a new course. The best players in Massachusetts attempt to navigate the small greens for a couple amateur events in the state.

“I have a soft spot for President's, having played many times in the Norfolk County Classic, the annual kickoff to the Mass Golf Association's invitational events. This is the former Wollaston Country Club, before that entity decamped for a Fazio design about 10 miles away in the 90s, now owned by the city of Quincy. The course is short at 5670 yards, but still a par 70. Birdie chances abound here with reachable par fives, drop-shot par threes, and a few par fours that strong players can reach with a driver, but there are ball-busters too, like the opening tee shot with OB lurking left, the long par four 6th with a very hard-to-hit green, the uphill par three 13th with a wild left to right green, and of course the famed question-mark par 5 15th where a well-placed tee shot can leave a 7-iron approach, but plenty of water on all sides of each shot to make this hole an eagle to triple proposition. Putting is never easy here, and seeing them in the tournament at full speed shows what fun they can be. President's has great views of Boston from it's hilly perch, and an afternoon here is well-spent. Say hi to hardworking Dana Smith in the pro shop, and enjoy a beer post-round overlooking this (not so) hidden gem!"

“Very short, but fun course just south of Boston with great views of the skyline. There are good holes here such as the 3rd and 16th that balance out horrific ones like the 15th with a boomerang fairway around a lake. One of the better values in the area."

“George/Tom Fazio design in the Boston Beltway. Very unique layout built on a Hill with views of the Boston Skyline. Incredibly sloped green complexes."
