Boston summers are short — and every golfer in the area knows it. Whether you’re squeezing in a round after work or planning a full golf weekend, the Greater Boston area has some fantastic courses worth knowing about. And when the weather doesn’t cooperate (or your schedule won’t allow a full 18), Good Time Golf in Somerville’s Assembly Row is right here to keep your game sharp indoors.
Granite Links is widely considered one of the best public golf courses near Boston. Situated on a hilltop in Quincy, this 27-hole facility offers stunning views of the Boston skyline and the Blue Hills. The combination of challenging layout and beautiful scenery makes it a bucket-list round for any Greater Boston golfer.
About an hour south of Boston, Pinehills features two championship 18-hole courses — the Jones and Nicklaus trails. It’s a popular destination for golfers looking for a full-day experience, with a driving range, practice facilities, and a clubhouse to match.
A solid 18-hole public course just south of the city, Brookmeadow is a go-to for Boston-area golfers who want a well-maintained course without a long drive. It’s beginner-friendly but still offers enough challenge to keep experienced players engaged.
One of the best-kept secrets in the city, George Wright is a Donald Ross-designed public course right in Hyde Park. At just 10 minutes from the South End, it’s a true gem for city golfers who want a classic layout without leaving Boston.
A bit further north, Butter Brook is a hidden gem in Westford that draws golfers from all over the Greater Boston area. With a well-designed layout and affordable green fees, it punches well above its weight class.
Between packed schedules, summer traffic on Route 93, and the occasional New England rain shower, getting out on the course isn’t always possible. That’s exactly why Good Time Golf at Assembly Row in Somerville is the perfect complement to your outdoor game.
