Wow, what a find this was!  My friends and I were looking for a reasonably priced 18 hole course near us in Quincy.  We played a few of the others, but Braintree Municipal is unbeatable at the afternoon rate!  Its $15 after 4 during the spring months, but only goes up to $20 after 4 for the summer.  

Those sort of prices would make you think that you were getting a crappy course, but Braintree is in great shape too!  For a public course, this is one of the best maintained I've played.  The grass is very neatly kept, the bunkers are in great shape, and best of all the layout is actually challenging.  You need to hit accurately off the tee here to be in decent shape.

The back nine is especially fun to play.  Seven out of nine holes have a water hazard of some sort, and the scenery is remarkable.  My girlfriend and I were playing lateish one night last year, and there were actually a pair of deer in the middle of the fairway on 16.  Not quite what you'd expect for a golf course in Quincy!

If you live near by, play this course this year.  I believe they'll be opening Mid-April.  I personally can't wait!

Not a fan.  As the other reviewers have said, the price is very good but this course was in horrific shape when I played it and I doubt that I'd go back.  Granted, we have had a terribly wet June in Boston, but I played Braintree after a few dry days and it was completely soaked, almost under water.  I hit a pitching wedge to the 10th green and it just went right into the ground, had to fish it out with a divot repair tool.  I highly doubt that I'll go back.

A favorite course of mine! A challenging and beautifully maintained 18-hole golf course with large fairways and very nice greens. With rates at $20.00 per person during the week after 4pm how can you not love this course. It's only 25 minutes from downtown and it's easy to find. Looking for another golf course...FORE-get about it!
