A Massachusetts city bought a golf club and is converting it to a muni — complete with a major renovation

QUINCY, Mass. – Furnace Brook Golf Club will open for the first time under city ownership on April 1, part of a plan to provide “affordable, local golf” to the city’s residents. The club will turn 100 years old next year and Quincy officials have plans to build a new clubhouse and make other improvements to the course.

Fees for Quincy residents at the 44-acre course will be $45 for 18 holes on weekdays and $55 on weekends, the same fees charged at county-owned Presidents Golf Course. Nonresidents will be charged an extra $10, which is still less than the fees were before the city takeover. By comparison, it costs $150 to play 18 holes in the summer at private Quincy golf club Granite Links.

Carts are $20 for 18 holes and $15 for 9 holes.
