Crosswinds is 27 holes in Plymouth, and from the black tees it plays to a slope of 145. That is one of the stiffer public tests south of Boston. Green fees are $75 on a weekday with the cart included. Pinehills and Waverly Oaks are the two premium names down here, and Crosswinds gives you a similar course for roughly a third of the Nicklaus price.
Crosswinds Golf Club sits at 424 Long Pond Road in Plymouth, about 45 minutes from Boston off Route 3. It runs three nines named after Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet, and Babe Zaharias. You play any two of them for an 18. The rotation is the reason to know how this place works before you drive down.
The three nines
The Jones, Ouimet, and Zaharias nines combine into three different 18-hole routings. Each one stretches past 7,000 yards from the tips with a slope in the 140s. From the blue tees it settles to a fairer 6,000 yards and a slope around 130. Here is how the combinations rate.
| Combination | Black yards | Black slope / rating |
|---|---|---|
| Ouimet / Zaharias | 7,108 | 145 / 75.6 |
| Jones / Ouimet | 7,077 | 143 / 75.4 |
| Zaharias / Jones | 7,017 | 142 / 74.8 |
The terrain rolls, the fairways are in good shape, and reviewers put the conditioning close to Pinehills and Waverly Oaks. The catch is that you do not always control which two nines you play. The pro shop rotates the combinations, so the 18 you booked can differ from the 18 you get. Pick your tees honestly. From the black it is a real fight. From the blue or silver it is a fun, playable round for a mid-handicap.
2026 rates
Every rate at Crosswinds includes the cart, which is not standard at this price. The 2026 sheet is simple.
| Mon–Thu | Fri–Sun & holidays | |
|---|---|---|
| 18 holes | $75 | $96 |
| 9 holes | $47 | $52 |
The range has multi-tiered all-grass tees at $5 for a half basket and $10 for a full one. Club rentals are $30 for an adult set, and you have to ask for them when you book. The weekday $75 with cart is the number that makes Crosswinds worth the drive.
Booking and pace
Crosswinds takes tee times 7 days out at golfcrosswinds.com or by phone at (508) 830-1199. A credit card holds the reservation. Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before your time.
Pace of play is the honest knock. It gets busy in summer, and reviewers report 5-hour rounds on a midweek afternoon. Overbooking at peak times shows up in reviews too. Book an early weekday time if you want to move. A 27-hole course spreads players out, but a full sheet on a Saturday still backs up.
How it compares
Plymouth is the premium public golf pocket near Boston. Pinehills has two polished courses and a resort feel, with the Nicklaus starting at $140. Waverly Oaks is a top-100 Brian Silva design around $110 midweek. Crosswinds undercuts both at $75 with a cart, and it brings 27 holes and a genuinely hard set of tips.
If you want the polish and the name, book Pinehills or Waverly Oaks. If you want the most golf and the most difficulty for the money, Crosswinds is the pick. For the full lay of the land south of the city, see the South Shore golf guide.
Crosswinds rotates its three nines, so the 18 you booked online is not always the 18 you play, and a full summer Saturday backs up fast. Text Carl your date and group. He confirms which combination is in play, finds the early time that keeps you ahead of the crowd, and books it so you are not guessing about pace when you get there.
