Sixteen holes. Not nine, not eighteen. Lakeville runs its own math and has since the layout was set. South Shore golfers who know it don't need an explanation. Those who don't will ask why, and the answer is simple: it works. The routing loops through southeastern Massachusetts pine and oak, flat enough to walk without thinking about it, interesting enough to hold your attention through every non-standard hole. Public golf with private club bones. The kind of place where regulars walk because driving feels wrong, and newcomers figure that out by the third tee. A 73 walkability score underrates the ease here. Show up ready to walk something different.
