Have played “little marion” many times. The second green is like a Volkswagen Beetle roof! Glad to see it will be restored to original condition. Great video!
Great episode. I look forward to more in this series !
Enjoyed this
Wonderful piece, Stephen! You and the Mass Golf comms team did another great job. You perfectly evoked the charm and history of both places. I sense a road trip in the works with friends this fall!
I had the pleasure of playing a bunch of rounds at Marion during the Golfer's Journal's solstice event in June. Beautiful course and a lot of fun to play. My only regret is that I don't live close enough to play this on the regular.
Grew up 1.5 miles from little marion love it
My son and I played Highland Links back in June of 2023. It was a very enjoyable experience, even if we both shot over 100 for 18 holes. One piece of advice I would give first time players is to bring a lot of golf balls, you'll lose a lot of them in the rough! Looking forward to going back someday soon.
I grew up in Mattapoisett, MA. Learned golf at Little Marion in the 1950’s. Playing with persimmon woods and McGregor tourney blades. Later, my daughter learned the game here- she is now a club pro in Naples, FL. My last visit to Marion was ten years ago and I saw a few of the old trees still alive. What a wonderful golf course!
Try the Northfield Golf Club: Northfield, MA. Another old niner.
Marion's my go-to course for a quick after work solo round to clear the head. Beautiful course love the place
Highland Links is a true gem of a course. Our summer cottage sits just behind the first tee, and we feel very lucky to be part of Cape Cod and golf history.
