Golf in Bedford

Bedford is a Middlesex County suburb northwest of Boston in the Shawsheen River headwaters, adjacent to Hanscom Air Force Base and the conservation land of the Minute Man National Park that collectively preserve a substantial open buffer. Lexington Golf Club serves the broader Bedford community, and the base's protected buffer land gives the area a more open character than the Route 128 development corridor would otherwise allow. One course serves a mid-size suburban community in the northern Middlesex corridor, drawing from the military population, the residential neighborhoods, and the broader Hanscom-Lexington market in an area where federal land preservation has maintained the open landscape at the outer edge of the Route 128 ring.
