Golf in Cohasset

Cohasset is a small Norfolk County coastal town south of Hingham on the South Shore, where the granite ledge of the coast's northern geology appears on the shoreline's southern extension. Cohasset Golf Club serves this affluent, rocky coastal community in a town where the harbor, the sea cliffs, and the preserved town center define a character that distinguishes Cohasset from the flatland South Shore towns to the south. The granite bedrock here gives the terrain a firmness and topographic variety absent from the sandy, kettle-pond landscape of the South Shore's more southerly communities. Golf in Cohasset draws from a modestly sized but affluent year-round population.
