Braintree Municipal Golf Course

I played here 30 years ago, so I had long forgotten how lovely this course is. I haven't played many municipal golf courses in my time, but this one is by far the best. Only the sign on the building indicates it's a muni. The course is more than playable and enjoyable from any of the tees. The tees are large rectangles and cared for. The greens are beautiful, better than many I play on. The first cut, apron or fringe around the greens is 9 feet wide !!! I thought this was a marvelous touch. The bunkers had REAL sand and cut nicely. Not your father's muni, play it !!!

Course is in great shape and staff is great, worth the cheap price. It plays like a public course where land is tight. You can’t miss fairways by much or you will lose balls, but fairways are big enough it’ll be your fault if you miss them. Greens are nice but slow. No range is my only complaint.

Right off the tee, huge greens and lots of water in play. True challenge

Was late because alarm didn’t go off and golf shop paired me up with a great threesome later on. Course was in excellent shape and very easy to walk for only 24 dollars.. Greens were as nice as almost any private course i’ve played.. Very enjoyable smooth paced round with three solid golfers who were members and guided me through. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone. Amenities were not applicable because covid but they deserve a five star for how well kept the course was.

This is the kind of course I enjoy: moderately wide fairways, plenty of trees for shade, easy to walk, nice views throughout. I didn't know what to expect, and I was very pleased with the experience. Fairly well secluded, so it doesn't feel like you're playing in the city/suburbs.

We had a twilight time and only played the front nine, so I'm eager to play all 18.

As with all courses during COVID-19 protocol, the course conditions were excellent and the pace of play was perfect. I'd be interested to know what they are like in normal times.

Greens were recently aerated but were still reasonable for roll & speed. Fairways were still in good shape. Nineteenth hole is better than most & staff everywhere were great. It might have helped if the ranger had actually moved people along though. Front played fine but the back 9 was insanely slow.

Great round for mid November...conditions fantastic other than the greens which will probably be pretty much the same until the spring...nice concept of maintenance by the superintendent to insure that the greens are taken care of rather than risk chance of trying to spike with the monsoon like conditions everyone saw in New England early this past year...especially a place like Braintree where the water table is pretty high to begin with...Cudos!!!

Shortly after I booked on GolfNow I went to the

course website and the price was the same

without any fees. No savings here

Great little Municipal course. Layout was good, greens were in great condition, especially for November. My only hinderance was that the website showed course aeration on November 5th, so we booked the 4th to be able to get in 18 before then...and aeration actually started that day.

Slowest pace of play ever, group in front kept pulling their carts across the greens, embarrassing
