They wanted to build a private golf club in Boston, but when the market crashed in 1929, the project was abandoned. The course features great views of the city and interesting terrain. Over half of the holes on the course include significant hills that often cause the golfer to hit blind shots. The hill on the 12th hole is very steep and has been used by sledders in the winter.
