6 reviews for Mt Hood Golf Club
You've come a long way, baby.
When I was a kid, this place was horrible. Dead grass, crummy clubhouse. Forget it.
But several years back, it was bought out and completely re-vamped.
Some of the most maddingly (?) difficult holes here. But it's quite well-maintained. 18 holes. All are unlike any others you've played before (OK that may be a stretch). But I find this place hilly, unique, and fun to play. You will too.
Decent scenic course within a short drive from the city. One of the few 18 hole options that's a municipal course.
We arrived early to have lunch on the clubhouse patio. The food was ok. Basic sandwiches and typical appetizers. Service could of been a bit better, our order was done but was missing a sandwich, then it took another 10 minutes. Panini's were cold in the middle.
On to the course..It was confusing finding the way around to the start off. There was no starter waiting, so the ranger drove by and told us to hop in a cart and proceed to the first hole. The vibe was very relaxed. There was a backup from our tee time by 20 minutes so we waited a while to tee off, then waited at practically every hole and the same with the party behind us. It made for a slow game. The course was in good shape. I liked the layout. Some hills but long fairways and not too many sloped holes. A few ponds and a good mix of different pars, mostly 4's. The surroundings were peaceful. There were signs of the history of the course with old stone walls, even some random fireplaces on the edge of the woods. There is a large stone tower overlooking the course on the 8th hole. The clubhouse has a very rustic look to it with its stone facade and paned windows.
Prices were reasonable. It was $28 (9 holes) each then $8 for a cart. I will be back for more play, hopefully without a long wait.

Definitely a hilly course...and people saying walk 9, cart 18 are definitely right! The note by R.E. talking about penciled graffiti holds true - very inappropriate especially if you have a youngster with you. I felt it was a bit overpriced...wonder if its priced so high because of its closeness to Boston - but truth is, there are better public courses in MA for less!

Very crowded with mediocre golfers on a recent Sunday . Starter messed up the tee time and appeared to be drinking jack and coke. Cart was covered in penciled graffiti and had seen better days mechanically.
Overall it's a nice course with a couple of tricky holes and a good little bar in the clubhouse. Go during non-peak hours if at all possible.
good course, frendly people. got some tricky holes but fun. nice little pub on the ninth hole bar food but ok after a round. great city view from 11 or 12 hole i think.

This is one of the better courses close to the city. Located is Melrose it is actually a billy goat course so if you are playing 18 take a cart! You can walk 9, but trust me, cart for 18. Once you get to the 6th hole you forget that you are anywhere near the city with the trees surrounding the fairways. Then on the back nine there are a few elevated tees from where you can see the Boston Skyline. It is really a fabulous view. There are some tough holes, no real carries unless you count some huge rocks/hills in the fairways, but some fun elevated tees. The greens are in great condition. On the weekends you can play unlimited on the weekends after 3:30.
