Golf in Salem

Salem is an Essex County city on the North Shore whose identity is tied inseparably to both its witch-trial past and its active harbor, a community that has reinvented itself multiple times while maintaining a year-round civic life. Two clubs serve the community in a city where the dense urban core and the residential neighborhoods above the harbor provide the golf context. Salem's year-round population and its position as one of the North Shore's primary cultural and commercial centers sustain two clubs in a community that is dense, active, and engaged well beyond the summer season. The harbor and the city's proximity to both the suburban commuter market and the North Shore tourist market give Salem's golf venues a diverse catchment.
