The longest par-3 course in Massachusetts is Middleton Golf Course, at 3,215 yards — one of 13 par-3 courses in the state.
Ranked against Massachusetts's other par-3 courses, not against its regulation golf. Each list counts only the courses that publish that figure, so the totals differ between them. Slope and course rating measure difficulty, not quality.

Height above sea level at the course’s own published coordinate, sampled from the USGS 3DEP elevation model. THIS IS A FIGURE WE DERIVED, not one the course publishes — anybody can re-query the same public dataset at the same coordinate and get the same number, but no scorecard states it. Because every course carries a coordinate, this is the only board here whose field is nearly the whole database rather than the courses that publish a particular figure. Elevation changes how far a ball carries; it says nothing about whether a course is good.
How long a par-3 hole actually plays
Every hole on the 13 published par-3 scorecards in Massachusetts, in 25-yard bands. One tee set per course — the longest that publishes a card — so a course with six rated sets counts once rather than six times.
