Golf in Acushnet

Acushnet is a small Bristol County SouthCoast town in the upper Acushnet River valley, between New Bedford and Fairhaven in the heart of the South Coast's inland agricultural corridor. Acushnet River Valley Golf Course serves this community in the wooded terrain above the river, in a town where cranberry bogs, woodlands, and the river's protected watershed define the land use. Golf in Acushnet draws from the town's residential population and the broader New Bedford metro area, providing a course in a community whose modest scale and largely rural character are increasingly rare in the urbanizing SouthCoast corridor. The Acushnet River's clean upper reaches and the town's low-density character give the course a quiet setting.
