Canton, MA · Public daily-fee
The practical south-of-Boston upgrade when Ponkapoag is too rough but Granite Links is too expensive.
Wayland, MA · Public daily-fee
One of the closest straightforward public 18s west of Boston, with a genuinely useful late-evening price.
Tewksbury, MA · Public daily-fee
A fair midweek walking value, but a much more expensive round once carts become mandatory on Friday and the weekend.
Peabody, MA · Municipal public course
A legitimate North Shore municipal test, not a short city course—the back tees carry a 135 slope.
Haverhill, MA · Public daily-fee
A public Haverhill course with a seven-day booking window—and three extra days of access for members.
Plymouth, MA · Public daily-fee
The best choice when a full golf experience matters more than a full championship-course time commitment.

A traditional Paxton daily-fee course for golfers who care more about the layout than chasing the lowest posted rate.

A quick note on prices
When a course publishes a set price, you'll see it here. When rates change by day or tee time, we'll send you to the live booking page instead of showing an outdated number.
Every guide links to the course's official information, and each one shows when its rates and booking details were last reviewed. Always confirm the final price and cancellation policy before paying.
