Few Massachusetts towns feel as genuinely removed from the suburban sprawl as Boxford — a largely rural community in Essex County, north of Route 128, where horse farms and conservation land still outnumber subdivisions. Playing golf here carries that same unhurried, off-the-beaten-path character, and Far Corner fits its setting: a full 18-hole, par-72 layout that operates as a public course in a part of the state where private clubs have long dominated the landscape.
Essex County has a serious golf pedigree — Myopia Hunt Club, Salem Country Club, and Kernwood are all within reasonable distance — so Far Corner serves a real community need as an accessible public option in an otherwise exclusive corridor. The terrain across this stretch of northeastern Massachusetts tends toward rolling, wooded New England topography, with rocky outcroppings, mature hardwoods, and seasonal changes that make autumn rounds particularly striking.
Without a famous architect or tournament history to anchor it, Far Corner is the kind of course that earns loyalty through consistency, affordability, and the simple pleasure of playing genuine golf in a quiet corner of a genuinely beautiful region.
