The Robert T. Lynch Municipal Golf Course at Putterham Meadows in an 18-hole public course designed and built by Stiles and Van Kleek in 1931.  The course includes a practice putting green, practice chipping green, and driving range.  The clubhouse adjacent to the course houses an administrative office, a large foyer with sitting areas and a full-service restaurant with both indoor and outdoor dining available.  A fully equipped Golf Pro Shop is located downstairs in the Clubhouse.

 

More than 3 million dollars in capital improvements have been implemented since 2003, including renovation of the tee complexes, sand bunkers, and greens throughout the course; installation of paved cart paths; drainage improvements; renovation of the irrigation and remote control systems; and improvements to the interior of the clubhouse.  The Robert T. Lynch Municipal Golf Course will continue to see growth in rounds of golf played due to the addition of the driving range in 2016 that will continue to have positive impact on all golf revenues. 

 

The finances of the Golf Course are accounted for in an Enterprise Fund, as allowed under M.G.L Ch.44, section 53F ½.  The Enterprise Fund fully reimburses the General Fund for the expenses incurred on behalf of The Course operations budget, including fringe benefits.
