A 72-year-old golf course in Attleboro could see its tee times replaced with bedtimes.

The owner of the 140-acre Stone-E-Lea golf course is preparing to close the course at the end of 2026 and is putting the property up for sale. Brokerage firm 128 CRE announced this week that it is marketing the property for sale as a "large-scale" redevelopment opportunity.
"With relatively few properties of this size and visibility available in the region, Stone-E-Lea represents a significant opportunity to reimagine a longstanding Attleboro landmark for a new use," a release from 128 CRE says.
The property is marketed as a rare opportunity not only because of its substantial size but also its location. It sits near I-95 in between the Boston and Providence metropolitan areas.
The golf course at 1411 County St. opened in 1954 and has been owned for that entire span by three generations of the Lapierre family. The family announced in August it had made the "difficult" decision to close later this year due to the "recent health struggles" of David Lapierre.
128 CRE's David Linehan, Adam Meixner, Jeremy Freid and Tyler Capecci are representing the ownership in the property's marketing and sale.
Shuttered golf courses have become major opportunities for development over the last several years as Massachusetts leaders look to build more housing.
Boston investment firm DW Capital proposed a 290-unit redevelopment in April at the former Leicester Country Club in western Massachusetts, the Boston Business Journal reported. The 223-acre golf course closed its doors last year.
This month, the owner of the Wyckoff Country Club in Holyoke filed a proposal to turn the golf course into 100 "upscale" single-family homes, MassLive reported.
