Thinking About Living in Quail Ridge Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Quail Ridge Country Club and the surrounding Greater Boston & South Shore golf market.
Quail Ridge Country Club is a 9-hole course on 94 acres of pine and hardwood forest in Acton, designed by Mark Mungeam and opened in 2005 (nominated for Golf Digest's Best New Private golf courses list that year). It sits immediately next to Quail Ridge, a 153-home active-adult (55+) community built by Pulte Homes between 2013 and 2015 across 149 acres, whose own prospective-buyer materials describe the adjacent country club -- with its clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and tennis courts -- as a defining amenity of the neighborhood.
What keeps this from being a stronger, Turner-Hill-style qualification is access: Quail Ridge Country Club is confirmed, via its own membership page, to be genuinely open to the public on a low-cost "dues only" basis (reported around $300/month, down from a stated former structure of $75,000-plus initiation and $7,500/year), with no membership requirement, bundling, or resident-exclusive tier found. The qualification here rests on physical siting and shared community identity rather than any access advantage.
Golf & Course
The course is a 9-hole Mark Mungeam design opened in 2005, set on 94 acres bounded by conservation land and water, with a chipping area and putting green for short-game practice alongside the main course.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership at Quail Ridge Country Club is confirmed open to the general public, not restricted to Quail Ridge residents, and structured as low-cost dues-only tiers (individual, family, corporate, social, and junior golf options) with no traditional high initiation fee. Reported current pricing is roughly $300/month for access that the club states formerly cost $75,000-plus to join and $7,500/year to maintain; a separate, older 2022 club membership-form source cited a lower $1,600 Individual Golf Membership figure that was not reconciled with the $300/month figure this session (flagged as conflicting rather than resolved).
Living in Quail Ridge Country Club
Quail Ridge is a 153-home, age-restricted 55+ community built by Pulte Homes from 2013-2015 across 149 acres, consisting of detached single-family homes and attached townhomes ranging roughly 1,900-2,900 square feet. The HOA (still developer-controlled as of the community's build-out, transferring to residents once 75% of homes sell) covers items like front-yard landscaping, irrigation, road maintenance, and insurance -- but does not itself include or fund country club membership.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Community amenities beyond the adjacent country club include four tennis courts within the neighborhood itself; golf, fitness, and pool access at the country club require a separate, optional membership as described above.
Location & Surrounding Area
Acton sits in Middlesex County roughly 25 miles northwest of Boston, part of the MetroWest/outer suburban corridor rather than the North Shore or South Shore.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Golf membership initiation
Current$0
Club marketing explicitly describes memberships as "reduced-rate, dues only" with no high initiation fees or deposits, contrasted against a stated former cost structure of over $75,000 initiation plus $7,500/year.
Annual dues
Historical — as of 2026-09-23$3,600
Reported as "less than $300 a month" (roughly $3,600/year annualized) for access and privileges that formerly cost over $7,500/year; a separate 2022 club membership-form source cited an Individual Golf Membership figure of $1,600, which conflicts with the $300/month figure and was not reconciled this session -- treat both as directional, not current confirmed pricing.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current membership pricing directly with the club -- this session found two different reported figures ($300/month vs. a 2022 document's $1,600 Individual Golf Membership) that were not reconciled.
- Do not assume Quail Ridge (the 55+ community) residency provides any membership discount or priority access to Quail Ridge Country Club -- no such resident-specific benefit was found this session.
- The claim that the course sits on a "former private country club" site was not corroborated -- available sources date the current course to a 2005 opening; verify site history directly with the club or town records if this matters to a buyer.
Notable
- Quail Ridge Country Club's membership is confirmed open to the general public, not exclusive to residents of the adjacent Quail Ridge community.
- Reported current membership pricing (~$300/month, dues-only, no initiation fee) is a steep reduction from a stated former structure of $75,000-plus initiation plus $7,500/year, per the club's own marketing.
