 Also known as the
William J. Devine Golf Course, this 18 hole
public golf facility is the
second oldest public course in America. Considered one of the finest
jewels in "Olmstead's Emerald Necklace," this venerable old
course offers a pleasant inner city golfing experience only minutes
from downtown Boston.
Golf legend Bobby Jones used this as a
practice course, and specifically used land adjacent to the twelfth
hole as a practice area. This is where he honed his golf game while
attending Harvard. He went on to win "The Grand Slam" of
golf.
Franklin Park measures 6009 yards from the blue tees,
5622 yards from the white tees, and 5240 yards from the reds. Wide
open fairways and receptive greens make for a friendly, pleasurable,
golfing experience
Sterling Golf Management has been responsible for the operation
of Franklin Park Golf Course since January of 1999. During that
period of time, course conditions have improved so much that even the
most seasoned patrons have exclaimed that they've never seen the
course look better. Superintendent, Russell Heller and
his staff deserve accolades for their tireless efforts instituting
these excellent conditions.
Elaine Gebhardt,
Sterling's Manager at Franklin Park, and the pro shop staff offer the
utmost in customer service and are always available to assist the
needs of every guest.
A brand new clubhouse was erected in 1998, and features a fully
stocked Pro Shop, a comfortable lounge with fireplace, and state of
the art locker rooms.
A function facility that accommodates 150 people is also available.
