The Saturday and Sunday releases
At George Wright and William J. Devine, permit holders reserve five days ahead at 7am and the public four days ahead at 7am. For Saturday, that is Monday for permit holders and Tuesday for the public. For Sunday, it is Tuesday and Wednesday. Residency changes your fee; it does not automatically make you a permit holder.
What the 2026 renewal form says
The individual permit is $1,700 for a Boston resident or $2,750 for a non-resident. Senior fees are $1,400 and $2,050; juniors pay $300. The permit covers green fees at the two city courses, with carts and tournament play excluded. The 2026 form was for holders renewing a 2025 permit, with an April 30 deadline and validity through February 28, 2027. Do not treat that renewal form as an open new-applicant offer.
Do the rounds calculation
A resident walk costs $46 on a weekday or $55 on a weekend. A $1,700 permit therefore breaks even at 37 weekday rounds or 31 weekend rounds, before any excluded charges. Mix your own likely days into the calculation. Earlier booking is a benefit, but it does not guarantee the exact time you want.
Make the reservation with the right account
Confirm your booking class, log in before the release and have the player count settled. Singles can join an existing twosome or threesome online. Cancel or change the reservation at least four hours ahead; the operator’s policy charges for missing players inside the deadline.
Use a reminder you control
Set the correct release in your calendar. Carl searches supported online sheets when asked; it does not monitor releases in the background or reserve a slot for you. Open the booking link and complete the reservation with the city system.
