Where is Granite Links Golf Club?

The Granite Links Golf Club at Quarry Hills in Quincy, Massachusetts, is seven miles south of Boston. It is located in an old granite quarry and garbage dump. At one point in time Quincy was world renowned for its granite.

How many holes are there in Granite Links?

The 27 holes at Granite Links are laid out on top of two former landfill sites and old granite quarries. Incredibly, 900,000 truckloads of spoil from Boston’s “Big Dig” road tunneling project were used in course construction to cap the site with thirteen million tons of material.

How many bunkers are there in the 2nd hole of the golf course?

This will leave you about 220 yards over a marsh to a green protected by 3 bunkers. The 2nd hole is a straight forward par 4, fairway bunkers both sides and 3 greenside bunkers right. The 3rd is the number one handicap hole. It is long but does provide a generous landing area.

When was the Milton Nine completed?

The original Milton nine was completed in 2003, followed a year later by the Granite nine. In 2006, the Quincy nine was added to complete the 27-hole development. The club was chosen to host four editions of the BJ’s Charity Championship on the Legends Tour, starting in 2005.

How many bunkers are there in the fairway at the tee shot?

The tee shot is over water to a narrow fairway with OB right. There are two fairway bunkers on the left about 110 yards out. However, there are also two large bunkers on the right starting about 75 yards in front of the green. I strongly advise taking an extra club.
