Malden City Golf Course (closed)

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened to Malden City Golf Course?

It's a real shame, but Malden City Golf Course officially closed its greens in 2018. The land was eventually sold for residential development, marking the end of an era for this community staple. You won't find any fairways there today.

Can you still visit the old Malden City Golf Course site?

Unfortunately, no, you can't walk the old fairways anymore. The entire property has been redeveloped into a new housing community, so there's nothing left of the course itself to explore. It's a completely different landscape now.

What was Malden City Golf Course known for before it closed?

Malden City was a beloved local track, especially known for its incredibly friendly staff and a surprisingly tricky par-3 7th hole over water. It offered a straightforward, enjoyable round without breaking the bank, making it a true community gem. We always appreciated its unpretentious charm.

Were there any unique challenges or highlights at Malden City Golf Course?

Absolutely, beyond the welcoming atmosphere, the course had a few memorable spots. The back nine, in particular, featured some tight tree-lined fairways that demanded accuracy, and the finishing 18th was a satisfying par-5 that often decided friendly wagers. It wasn't championship golf, but it was always a good test.
