Golf in Saugus

Saugus is a Middlesex County inner suburb between Lynn and Malden, in the Route 1 commercial corridor north of the Boston core. Cedar Glen Golf Course puts nine holes in this compact community, occupying open land in a town where the commercial strip and the residential neighborhoods leave limited space for open use. The nine-hole format fits the constraints of an inner suburb near the city where land is at a premium and full-size regulation layouts are harder to sustain over time. One course serves a large residential population in one of the more densely developed inner suburbs north of Boston, providing local access in a market where regulation golf requires driving further afield.
