Merrimack Valley Golf Club

Rated a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Massachusetts, Merrimack Valley Golf Club draws consistent attention in Methuen, United States — and the layout backs it up. Designed by Donald Ross and opened in 1906, this 18-hole, par-70 semi-private links plays across undulating woody hills with rolling bentgrass greens, pristine ponds, and valley-wide views. Three holes stand out: hole 4 is a classic Cape par 4 dogleg right with a pond guarding the bend; hole 11 is a par 3 with a green almost entirely surrounded by water; and hole 18 closes the round with a long uphill three-shot par 5. The Sandtrap Bar and Grille serves premier Lebanese and American cuisine and is open all year round. The clubhouse also includes a deck and patio with views from 14 out of 18 holes, four function halls, a ballroom, and private rooms.
