Golf in Ocean Grove

Ocean Grove is a village in Somerset, a Bristol County SouthCoast town on the Taunton River estuary facing Fall River. Three courses serve this village — Hidden Hollow Country Club, Pine Valley Country Club, and Wampanoag Golf Course — all nine-hole operations that reflect the neighborhood-scale golf culture of the working-class and middle-class SouthCoast communities along the Taunton estuary. The concentration of three modest clubs in one small community speaks to the traditional role that neighborhood golf has played in the SouthCoast's recreational life, in a setting that faces across the Taunton River toward Fall River's post-industrial skyline. The three clubs together serve the modest Somerset and Taunton estuary population.
