Why it matters
Granite Links is the closest premium public course to downtown Boston, set on the reclaimed granite quarries above Quincy with the harbor and the city skyline filling the back nine. The Skyline / Granite nines are the standard play; the Quarry nine is the newest and tightest. Realistically the only walkable golf with that view in eastern Massachusetts.
How to play it
Bookable in advance. Walkable in cool weather, cart in summer. The most-photographed views come on the back nine of the Skyline / Granite loops — request those over the Quarry nine for a first visit.
