Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ’s
Who is building the new Pines course?
Modern legends of golf course architecture Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw are nearing completion of the new Pines Course, bringing their signature, true-to-the-ground style to the ground on which the Pines Course rests. Their notable designs, to name just a few, include:
- Sheep Ranch, Bandon Dunes, Oregon
- Cabot Cliffs, Cabot Cape Breton, Canada
- Streamsong Red, Streamsong Resort, Florida
- The Plantation Course, Kapalua, Hawaii
Are both courses open for play?
Yes. The completely-renovated Oaks Course is open to Members and their Guests. The all-new Pines Course by the renowned design team of Coore & Crenshaw re-opened for Member play in June 2025. For more information on both courses, please contact our membership team at (978) 216-0480.
What has been accomplished since Escalante Golf acquired the club?
Pines Course Reimagination
Reopened for Member play on June 6, 2025, the Pines underwent a complete Coore & Crenshaw re‑imagination that created an entirely new routing through pitch pines and rolling hills on our unique piece of land outside of Boston. More than 1,000 yards shorter than the prior layout, the new Pines swaps brute length for strategic width, firm‑and‑fast contours, and rugged beige‑sand bunkers that melt into the land. The Coore & Crenshaw team forged many new hole corridors and green sites, creating an entirely new golf course that invites creativity and shot‑making.
Oaks Course Reinvigoration
Tripp Davis completed his reinvigoration of Tom Fazio’s original design, and the course reopened to Member play in the fall of 2021. Tripp Davis and his team restored the course to its former glory of strategic, artful bunkering and vast manicured waste areas. The golf course, which hosted a LIV Golf event in 2022, has been lengthened, tee boxes have been laser leveled and re-grassed, and additional work has been done to improve irrigation, drainage, and cart paths. In total the project took 6 months to complete.
Practice Facility
In addition to the 18 holes on the Oaks Course, the Tripp Davis project included an overall update to the double-ended driving range and short game area. Driving range target greens were restructured, tee decks were re-leveled and re-sodded, short game area bunkers were updated to match those on the Oaks Course, and the innovative Flagd Golf target system was implemented for an enhanced practice experience.
Clubhouse
Immediately upon its acquisition of the club in February 2021, the Escalante Golf team set out to update both the exterior and interior of the Club’s focal structure, a Clubhouse containing the Pro Shop, Locker Rooms, The Fireplace Room (main dining), and Admin offices. Updates include new carpeting and paint throughout, new furniture throughout, new merchandise and fixtures in the Pro Shop, and an updated roof and exterior paint and trim color.
Removal of Conference Center, Lodge & Banquet Facility
In 2024, two aging campus landmarks — the Lodge & Conference Center and a standalone banquet clubhouse — were removed, together spanning tens of thousands of square feet. Removing these dated structures unlocks panoramic views, streamlines operations, and prepares the ground for a forthcoming campus masterplan that will introduce next‑generation lodging, member amenities, and practice facilities.
Are either of the two courses open to the public?
All 36 holes of our fully-private club, along with all club facilities and amenities, are available to Members and their invited Guests.
