Description

Enjoy a round of golf for four at beautiful Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy, MA. Granite Links Golf Club at Quarry Hills was voted “Top Ten Best New Upscale Golf Course in the US” and "Four Star Best Place to Play" and, alongside other such national notables as Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass, Bethpage and Kiawah Island, Granite Links was named to the 2009 / 2010 selection of the "100 Greatest Public Golf Courses in America!" by Golf Digest.


As the name indicates, this is a links style course, situated atop what were once actively mined quarries. Remnants of the quarries will be revealed on the course in the form of granite outcroppings and some rather impressive water hazards--some of which run 40 to 400 feet deep!

Links style courses originated in Scotland, where the game of golf was invented. Links courses were typically built close to the ocean and are known to be sparse of tree and rich in wind. They also characteristically have challenging roughs.

At Granite Links, you’ll find all of these features, but with modern day lush interpretations.

Special Instructions

Arrangements will be made with the winner to set up this day on the links. The Club is open as long as weather permits. This round of golf expires at the end of the 2012 golf season.
