Turner Hill Golf Club

The Hurdzan/Fry-designed 18-hole course plays roughly 7,021 yards to a par of 72 across dramatic New England elevation changes, rocky terrain, and preserved wetlands -- an intentionally environmental design approach consistent with the firm's broader body of work. It has been recognized nationally, including a reported Travel & Leisure Golf ranking among the "10 Best New Private Courses in the United States" at opening.

Buying a home in the Residences at Turner Hill is reported to include a roughly $5,000 initiation fee into a Recreational-level club membership as part of the purchase -- a genuinely bundled, mandatory structure, not merely an option. Multiple differently-worded searches converged on this figure and structure. However, there is a real, unresolved tension in what that bundled tier actually includes: one detailed source (Northshore Magazine) describes the home-purchase-linked Recreational membership as including "limited golf" alongside tennis, fitness, pool, and dining access, while the club's own general-public Recreational membership tier is separately described (in club-facing summaries) as excluding golf amenities entirely. This may reflect two differently named tiers, or a genuine discrepancy between marketing copy and current practice -- either way, a buyer should have the sales office confirm in writing exactly what golf access (if any) comes with the bundled homeowner tier versus what requires a further paid upgrade to a full Golf membership.

The Residences at Turner Hill are organized into four neighborhoods -- The Hill, The Gardens, The Fairways, and The Village -- offering a genuine mix of single-family estates, attached villas, and townhome-style condominiums, with unit sizes commonly reported from roughly 2,000 to 4,500 square feet and recent sale prices ranging from roughly $800,000 to $2 million-plus. Homes are serviced by a condominium association that is explicitly tied to the club rather than an independent HOA, reinforcing the bundled relationship between property and club.

The clubhouse is the restored 1903 Turner Hill Mansion, with fine dining, a fitness center, a junior Olympic-sized pool, and an unusual two-lane candlepin bowling alley alongside tennis/pickleball and paddle courts -- amenities aimed as much at a broader recreational lifestyle as at golf specifically.

Ipswich sits on Massachusetts's North Shore in Essex County, roughly 30 miles north of Boston, giving Turner Hill residents a rural, historic-estate setting with a realistic commute distance to the city.
