BOSTON — Much like how the golf course has changed significantly since the U.S. Open was last held at The Country Club in 1988, so has how spectators will get to the tournament.
Gone are the days of parking on Putterham or Allendale Farm and walking over. The public is being urged to take public transportation, rideshare and be ready to rely on their own two feet.
There are VIP passes available for parking lots at Boston College (140 Commonwealth Ave., Chestnut Hill and 885 Centre St., Newton), UMass-Mount Ida (100 Carlson Ave., Newton), Kendrick St. Garage (140 Kendrick St., Needham) and Founders Park Garage “Lot X” (37 A St., Needham). There will be complimentary shuttles from each of those parking lots to TCC from 5:30 a.m. each day until an hour after the final putt has been holed.
