Golf in New Bedford

New Bedford is a Bristol County SouthCoast city, one of the great whaling ports in American maritime heritage and now a diverse working-class city on Buzzards Bay whose fishing fleet is still one of the most productive in the country. Whaling City Golf Course serves this community in terrain above the harbor, in a city where the combination of the Portuguese-American community, the maritime industry, and the post-industrial transition have created a distinctive urban identity. One course serves a city of over 90,000 people in the SouthCoast's primary urban center, reflecting the ongoing demand for accessible public golf in a densely developed urban environment.
