The Newton Commonwealth Golf Course is an 18-hole public golf course located in Newton, Massachusetts, just outside the city of Boston. This course was originally created as a nine-hole course in 1897 and was previously named the Commonwealth Club.{{cite web |title=Newton Commonwealth Golf Club |url=https://newtongc.com/ |publisher=Sterling Golf |access-date=30 June 2021}} The course expanded into an 18-hole course and was redesigned by influential golf course designer and Newton resident Donald Ross. The course was converted into a public course in the late 1970s when the city of Newton purchased the Chestnut Hill Country Club because of the club's financial instability.{{cite web |title=Reaching back to the Past, Looking to the Future |url=https://www.northeastgolfcompany.com/news/press-release_10-17-09.html |publisher=The Northeast Golf Company |access-date=30 June 2021}}
