Golf in Andover

Andover is an Essex County town in the Merrimack River valley north of the Route 128 ring, one of the more affluent and spacious communities in the northern Greater Boston suburbs. Andover Country Club serves the community's private membership market in terrain shaped by the Shawsheen River valley and the moderate upland above it. The town's large lot sizes, the Phillips Academy campus, and the preserved open space along the Shawsheen and the Merrimack watershed give Andover a more rural-adjacent quality than most communities at this distance from Boston. One private club serves a wealthy, golf-aware residential population in the Merrimack Valley's most prestigious address.
