Lynn Commons Dating to 1630, the two sections of the Commons were shaped in the 19th century to approximate the proportions of a shoe. Beyond the end of the heel stands a Soldier's Monument honoring those who died in the Civil War. The golf course, at the Eastern Gate of Lynn Woods, is very well maintained and beautifully landscaped over rolling hills. The back nine holes are particularly challenging. The fifth and sixth holes offer a splendid view of Boston across Breeds Pond.
