Nine holes deserves a complete plan
A nine can fit after work or a smaller weekend window, but check the course’s actual reservation rules. At Fresh Pond, a single joins an existing twosome or threesome. Furnace Brook has specific public-play hours. Neither format guarantees a walk-up opening.
Fresh Pond
A weekday nine costs Cambridge residents $27 and non-residents $30; the weekend nine-hole fee is $35. The published weekday 18-hole fees are $40 and $45, but arrange 18-hole reservations with the course. Weekend 18-hole access is restricted to pass holders.
Season-pass holders book three days ahead at 7am; other players book two days ahead at 7am. A single can join an existing twosome or threesome. Residency alone does not give the earlier booking window.
Unicorn
The operator publishes nine-hole walking ranges of $26–32 for Stoneham residents and $28–34 for non-residents. A nine-hole riding cart adds $12; rental clubs cost $12. The $5 junior fee requires Youth on Course eligibility and is limited to its approved times.
Online reservations open ten days ahead and phone reservations five days ahead. Call the shop to arrange 18 holes or reserve rental clubs.
Furnace Brook
For a weekday nine, Quincy residents pay $30 and non-residents $40; Friday–Sunday nine-hole fees are $40 and $50. A nine-hole cart adds $15 per rider. The course is at 20 Reservoir Road, Quincy.
Public reservations open three days ahead. Public play is available Monday–Thursday, Friday before 10am and weekends after 3pm during the April–November season. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead.
Pine Meadows
For 2026, a nine costs Lexington residents $25 on weekdays or $28 on weekends; non-residents pay $27 or $30. A cart is $14 per person, or $18 for a single rider.
The standard reservation window is one week online, by phone or in person. Singles may join a twosome or threesome. Lexington ID holders may call for weekend times up to two weeks ahead and must be playing in the reserved group.
Do not price half of an 18-hole package
Use the published nine-hole fee and its cart charge. Pine Meadows’ 2026 non-resident nine is $27 weekday or $30 weekend, replacing the old approximate $41 figure. If you want a second loop, ask about the arrangement rather than assuming one reservation covers both.
