George Wright Golf Course
About
George Wright Golf Course is a public 18-hole course in Hyde Park owned by the City of Boston. Designed by Donald Ross and opened in the late 1930s, it plays as a par 70 of about 6,440 yards across hilly, tree-lined terrain with a large rock formation, deep greenside bunkers and fescue-covered slopes. Blind and downhill approach shots, tight fairways and large, undulating greens make for a challenging round.
The course is run together with the William J. Devine Golf Course in Franklin Park, the city’s other municipal course, and the two share packages, a mailing list for tee time deals and gift cards. Holes include a par five reachable in two by long hitters, an uphill par three that plays longer than its yardage, and a back-to-back pair where a long, accurate tee shot is needed to set up an approach to the green.
