Pinehills Golf Club: Nicklaus Course- Plymouth, MA
Without a doubt, Pinehills Golf Club is home to two of the best public courses in Massachusetts. For those who want to get beat up, go for the Jones. For a fun day, play the Nicklaus. Designed by Jack Jr. in 2002, the much acclaimed course features somewhat difficult greens paired with forgiving fairways. Carved out of a dense pine forest, on land contoured by glacial activity, the overall feel is secluded and private. Visit the adjacent Mirbeau resort for an excellent lunch in their garden, or the nearby Rye Tavern (1792), located on the oldest road in the United States.

Scituate Light- Scituate, MA
There is something incredibly lonesome about a lighthouse. Located in the most inhospitable places, they exist to warn of danger. Add stormy seas, and there are few things more moody and dramatic. Dating to 1811, Scituate Light is no exception. Although removed from service over a century ago, the photogenic octagonal tower with a green lantern room still attracts attention. Although only occasionally open for tours, the exterior is accessible to the public.
