North Shore Golf Courses Near Boston: Where to Play and What It Costs

Carl's take

The North Shore deserves a proper shortlist, not a promise that nobody else knows about it. Start with the towns you can reach, compare walking and cart fees, and check each course's own sheet.

Compare the ordinary walking fee first

Sagamore Spring, Far Corner, Gannon and Beverly Golf & Tennis publish walking categories. Start with the fee you qualify for, then add the cart. A senior offer or resident fee is useful only when the booking player meets its rules.

Sagamore Spring

The 2026 peak-season 18-hole fee is $55 walking or $80 riding Monday–Thursday, excluding holidays. Friday, weekend and holiday rounds cost $68 walking or $93 riding. Nine holes is offered after 1pm on those days; 18 holes is required before 1pm.

Reserve through the current Sagamore Spring site. Tee times are required daily; check the active booking link and account requirements before release day.

Far Corner

Walking 18 is $56 on weekdays and $68 on weekends; a cart adds $24 per rider. Nine holes is $30 or $37. The $52 senior fee is restricted to players 62 and older on Monday and Thursday until 3pm.

Use the operator's current booking link or contact the shop. Permanent early weekend times have separate cancellation terms. Extra holes do not guarantee extra availability: check the sheet for your group.

Gannon

Lynn residents pay $45 for a weekday 18 or $51 Friday–Sunday; non-residents pay $49 or $57. An 18-hole cart adds $22 per rider.

Public weekday reservations open three days ahead and member reservations four days ahead. The course's current general-information page says public weekend reservations open Thursday at 5pm. Check that page rather than an old news post.

Beverly Golf

Weekday 18-hole walking fees are $42 for Beverly residents and $45 for non-residents. Weekend fees before 10am are $57 and $60, dropping to $47 and $50 after 10am. Carts add $20 per person for 18.

Follow the active reservation link from Beverly Golf & Tennis. Compare resident eligibility, the actual start time and any member benefits before using the lowest published figure.

Weekend timing changes the comparison

Beverly’s weekend fee steps down after 10am. Sagamore Spring requires 18 before 1pm on Friday–Sunday and holidays. Gannon’s current general-information page gives the public weekend release as Thursday at 5pm. An old article can miss all three details.
