Ticketing: Deutsche Bank Championship tickets are available online from the official website. Among the various ticket packages on offer are daily passes on tournament days for $40-$50, and weekly passes for $120-$130 (the lower price is for early ticket purchases).

Road connections: The TPC of Boston is on route 140 off of the I-495, a few miles south of Boston and northeast of Providence, RI. The club's website has more detailed driving directions.
Air: Boston's Logan International is the closest major airport (ca. 40 miles away), which you leave heading for the I-93 southbound to reach the tournament. The T.F.Green (PVD) airport serves primarily North American destinations and is located in Warwick, RI, around 30 miles (as the crow flies) southwest of Norton.

Accommodation and facilities: There's not a lot of info around on the local town, but a promising source of accommodation help is the Bristol County website, where you can view different types of lodgings by location (use a map to find towns near to Norton). The driving distance to the edge of Boston is just a few miles, so you might consider that city's listings, too (which also includes areas South of the city).

Local sights and sounds: The Bristol County Convention and Visitors Bureau has plenty of info on the local area. But it's worth noting that Norton is within a short driving distance of numerous tourist hotspots, like Boston, Martha's Vineyard and Plymouth.

Tournaments before and after: Bridgestone Invitational / Reno-Tahoe Open ... Bell Canadian Open
