About Royal Crest
A community since 1975.
Royal Crest is an owner-occupied residential condominium community uniquely centered around a private nine-hole golf course.
Since 1975, it has offered a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and a close-knit residential atmosphere. Fifty years later, Royal Crest remains one of Walpole's most distinctive and enduring residential settings.
The Course
Nine holes, walkable.
The course is a private nine-hole executive course, with tree-lined fairways, small greens, and natural water features. The ninth hole is a par three played over water.
Open exclusively to residents and their guests, the course is designed for walking and remains part of daily life at Royal Crest.

Grounds
Mature trees and seasonal plantings define the grounds. Rainbow Pond sits along the ninth hole and has long been a recognizable feature of the property.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse serves as the central gathering place and social center of Royal Crest. Its Function Hall, with a stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling, hosts community meetings, private events, and social activities throughout the year. The cardroom, exercise room, and Pro Shop are also located within the building.
Through the years
Nearly a century on this land.
Long before Royal Crest became a residential community, the land had already earned a place in Walpole's golfing tradition. Beginning in 1927, the property was home to the Walpole Country Club, where golfers played across rolling terrain, ponds, and wooded areas that continue to shape the landscape today.
Between 1975 and 1980, the property was thoughtfully redeveloped as Royal Crest Country Club Condominium Trust, combining residential living with the long-established nine-hole golf course. During this period, several fairways were redesigned to accommodate the new buildings while preserving the character of the course. In the decades since, residents continue to enjoy views of Rainbow Pond, mature woodlands, and open fairways—an enduring landscape that has defined the community for generations.
