Nextgengolf's City Tour is offering team based weekend tournaments in 14 cities this Summer for18-34 year olds. In this 4-part series, we will be featuring the top golf courses that will be hosting City Tour events. If you missed part 1, you can find it here.
Red Tail Golf Club (Kingston, MA)
Boston City Tournament #2 - Sunday June 28
Red Tail Golf Club
Red Tail is a New England gem tucked away in quiet Devens, Massachusetts. The ride from Boston is worth every minute as the golf course provides a challenging but very playable test for all skill levels. The Brian Silva designed course fits into its location by flowing through the New England hills, streams, and trees. A few short par 4s give opportunities for birdies, but missing into the various bunkers or woods will turn the birdie opportunity into a nightmare. The course is in great condition and will be a fun test for Boston Nextgen City Tour players.
Cantigny Golf Club (Wheaton, IL)
City Tour Tournament #2 - Sunday June 14
Cantigny Golf Club
Known as one of the top public golf courses in the Chicago area, Cantigny provides a "private club experience" for public golfers of all skill levels.

The courses have served hosts to the 2007 U.S. Amateur Public Links, 1998 and 2002 Illinois Amateur Championships, and several USGA qualifiers. Given 4 1/2 stars by Golf Digest, Cantigny will be a treat for Chicago City Tour golfers.
