Granite Links vs Pinehills: Which Premium Course to Book

Carl's take

Granite Links keeps you near Boston and puts the skyline in the round. Pinehills gives you a Plymouth golf day with two courses to choose from. Decide which outing you want before comparing the green fees.

Choose the shape of the day

Granite Links is the Quincy skyline outing; Pinehills is a Plymouth golf trip with a choice of two courses. Both public packages include a cart and range access. Compare complete packages and the journey rather than treating the green fee as the whole day.

Granite Links

Public 18-hole fees are $165 Monday–Thursday and $180 Friday–Sunday. Saturday and Sunday after 3pm cost $165; twilight after 5pm is $90. The required GPS cart and a range bucket are included. Twilight does not promise a completed 18.

Public reservations open four days ahead. Cancel or reduce your group at least 24 hours before play to avoid charges. The official public booking page does not state a blanket ban on all weekend morning public play.

Pinehills

From May 2 through October 18, 2026, either Pinehills course costs $140 Monday–Thursday or $175 Friday–Sunday. After 2:30pm, those rates are $100 and $115. A cart and range balls are included. Spring and late-autumn rates differ; check the date-specific rate card.

Regular online reservations open ten days ahead at midnight; same-day bookings are by phone. Limited advance weekend reservations require prepayment. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead.

Earlier booking or a closer trip

Pinehills’ normal online window is longer. Granite Links’ later twilight fee is lower than its prime rate, but does not promise 18 holes. If finishing matters, pay for a start that gives the group enough daylight.
