⛳️ Welcome to Best Public Golf Courses in the Boston Area

We're two local golfers who set out to answer one question:
Where can you play a great round of public golf near Boston—without needing a membership or driving two hours?

After years of early tee times, coffee-fueled drives, and walking 18 at sunrise, we’ve learned which public courses are worth the drive, which ones offer great value, and where you're most likely to find friendly staff, good pace of play, and a well-kept green.

This blog is our way of sharing what we've learned—with golfers like you.

🎯 Who This Blog Is For

  • New or recreational golfers looking for reliable public courses

  • Boston locals wanting to play great rounds without the country club scene

  • Anyone who’s asked: “Where should I play this weekend?”

Whether you're chasing birdies or just out for a walk with a club in hand, you deserve a course that respects your time, budget, and love of the game.

🏌️‍♂️ What You'll Find Here

  • Honest reviews of public golf courses within 45–60 minutes of Boston

  • Tips for booking tee times, avoiding traffic, and navigating etiquette

  • Rankings based on design, value, pace of play, amenities, and staff

We write only about the courses we’ve personally played—and we’re just getting started.
