Golf in Topsfield

Topsfield is an Essex County town in the Ipswich River watershed between Danvers and Ipswich, a small, affluent community known for the Topsfield Fair and the preserved agricultural land along the Ipswich River. Ferncroft Country Club serves this community in the moderate terrain of the Ipswich River valley, in a town whose combination of the fair's fairgrounds, the river's protected corridor, and the deliberately low-density character of the North Shore outer tier give golf a more open, agricultural-landscape setting. One course serves a small, rural-residential North Shore community in the Ipswich River valley, drawing from the Topsfield and Boxford residential market.
