Shortest golf courses on record in Massachusetts

The 50 shortest golf courses on record in Massachusetts run from 1,610 yards at Royal Crest Country Club in Walpole to 6,013 yards. Many are par-3 or executive layouts — short by design, made for a quick round, beginners, or practice. They are drawn from the 191 Massachusetts courses with a reliable published yardage — 54% of the 351 listed here; the median across that group is 6,454 yards. The rest carry no published yardage, so a shorter course may not appear on this list.
