The Mount Hood Club House in 2008. It was originally built as a ski lodge.

Mount Hood Golf Club is an 18 hole golf club and located in Melrose, Massachusetts. It was built in the thirties and over the years has been upgraded to offer a better playing experience.

Beginnings

The footings of the old ski jump are in the bottom right corner with the former ski slope in the distance.

Mount Hood was built on land donated to the city and once contained a small ski resort credited with having the first ski jump in New England. The parks winter role has now ceased to exist, but the footings of the jump and the motor house for the old rope tow still remain. During the summer, the park transformed into a golf course.

Current Conditions

Since the closing of the ski resort, Mount Hood has functioned as both a park and a golf course. Its various hiking and biking trails offer a relaxing get away from the busy city life and the park also contains a tot lot for children. There are also several ponds where ice skating and fishing are allowed. Though the ski resort no longer exists, sledding is popular in the winter.
