Briefly

A Mass. college is buying a local golf course. Here's why.
"This acquisition is a natural and meaningful extension of Stonehill's mission. It will help increase our capacity to enrich the experiences of all students across academics, athletics, recreation and community engagement."
"Easton Country Club will remain a semi-private venue open to Stonehill students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as the broader local golfing community, according to a statement from Stonehill College."
"As we undertake this exciting initiative, we are committed to stewarding this land in ways that benefit not only our campus community but also our neighbors in Easton and surrounding cities and towns."
Stonehill College has acquired the Easton Country Club, a 150-acre golf course in Easton. The facility will remain semi-private, accessible to Stonehill students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the local golfing community. Current operations will continue largely unchanged under General Manager Mark Lombardi, with league play, public tee times, and existing programming maintained. The acquisition supports the college's strategic plan and will serve as home for the women's golf team and a new men's golf program launching in NCAA Division I during the 2027-28 season. The property will provide hands-on learning opportunities through coursework, case studies, and student employment while benefiting the broader Easton community.
