ICYMI: Monday marked the first time in the 100+ year history of #MassGolf, that a Championship was hosted at Marion GC (mariongolfclub1904). The public 9-hole layout, just up the road from The Kittansett Club, was designed by world-famous golf architect, George Thomas. It's a little quirky - every par-3 green is protected by a stone wall - but that's what makes it such a special place.

Over the past two years, the course has seen a number of upgrades, slowly transforming the grounds into a championship-worthy test. A new irrigation system was installed in the fall of 2020, which alleviated the manual stress of hand-watering each hole, every morning. And a number of bunkers that were previously grown-over, were rediscovered.

And while the course has quickly been transformed into a must-play for all golf enthusiasts, the work is not done. There have been sightings of a world-renown golf course architect (who also happens to do work just up the road) and a course restoration is being planned for 2025.
