Golf in Watertown

Watertown is a Middlesex County inner suburb on the Charles River between Cambridge and Newton, a dense community where the river's urban character and the commercial development along Route 9 define the land use. Oakley Country Club occupies one of the town's limited open parcels, in a community where the compressed geography of an inner suburb makes sustained open land increasingly rare. One course serves a large residential and commercial urban community in one of the more space-constrained settings for golf in the Greater Boston inner ring, drawing from both Watertown's own population and the adjacent Cambridge and Newton markets.
