Golf in Brockton

Brockton is Plymouth County's largest city and one of the most important urban centers in southeastern Massachusetts, set in the industrial interior of the South Shore between Boston and Taunton. Four clubs serve the city — Brockton Country Club, D. W. Field Golf Course, Thorny Lea Golf Club, and White Pines Golf Course — a concentration that reflects both the size of the city's population and the cultural priority golf holds in this working-class-to-middle-class community. D. W. Field Park's conservation land provides one of the most significant open-space assets in any Massachusetts city of comparable density, and the surrounding terrain is the moderate, wooded upland of inner Plymouth County.
