Royal Crest Country Club

Royal Crest Golf Course is a 9-hole, traditional New England layout located within the Royal Crest residential community in Walpole, Massachusetts. The course features tree-lined fairways that provide generous landing areas, with small bent grass greens designed to reward regulation play. The signature hole is #9, a 160-yard par 3 that demands a tee shot over water to reach the green. Water hazards, including a brook, come into play on several holes throughout the course. The fairways are maintained with bluegrass, contributing to the classic New England character. The course operates on a residents-only basis, though the pro shop offers lessons to the public. The layout emphasizes precision, particularly on approach shots due to the small greens, while the combination of water hazards and tree-lined fairways creates a moderately challenging playing experience typical of regional courses from an earlier era.
