Golf in Rowley

Rowley is an Essex County town in the North Shore's outer tier, in the Parker River tidal marsh country between Ipswich and Newbury where the broad salt marshes and the barrier beach at Plum Island create one of the most ecologically significant landscapes on the Massachusetts coast. Rowley Country Club serves this small community in the upland above the tidal marshes, in a town where the combination of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, the salt marsh conservation land, and the modest residential population give golf a marsh-edge setting unlike any in the inner suburbs. One course serves a small North Shore community in one of New England's most distinctive coastal-marsh landscapes.
