Myopia Hunt Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play a round at Myopia Hunt Club?

This is one of the most exclusive clubs in the country, so getting on isn't easy. Your best bet is to know a member and secure an invitation; there are no public tee times or reciprocal agreements to speak of. If you're lucky enough to get invited, cherish every moment on this historic track.

When is the best time of year to experience Myopia Hunt Club's course?

We highly recommend playing in the fall, typically late September through October. The New England foliage is absolutely stunning, providing a vibrant backdrop to the classic course architecture, and the air is crisp and perfect for golf. Spring can also be lovely, but you might encounter wetter conditions.

What makes Myopia Hunt Club's golf course unique or particularly challenging?

Myopia is a true test of old-school golf, demanding precision and strategic thinking over brute force. You'll find incredibly firm, fast greens with subtle breaks that will challenge even the best putters, and the course's natural contours and minimal bunkering require thoughtful shot placement. The history here is palpable, making every shot feel like a step back in time.

What should I expect from the overall experience at Myopia Hunt Club, beyond just the golf?

Expect a step into a bygone era of understated elegance and tradition. The clubhouse is steeped in history, and the atmosphere is refined but welcoming, assuming you're a guest. Don't be surprised to see equestrian activity around the grounds; it's a hunt club, after all, and that heritage is very much alive.

Is Myopia Hunt Club a walking course, and what are the typical costs involved for a guest?

Absolutely, Myopia is a walking-only course, and taking a caddie is not just recommended, it's practically essential for navigating the subtle greens and understanding the course's nuances. While green fees are set by the club and typically handled by your host, expect a caddie fee and gratuity to be a significant part of your day's expense.
