Braintree Golf tees up community and conservation

Braintree Municipal Golf Course is a community resource where tradition meets evolution.

A treasured gathering spot for longtime club regulars, the 18-hole course is also seeing more new faces than ever.

  • This year, the club will host 50,000 rounds of golf and 18 shotgun tournaments.
  • Women’s, youth, and winter golf programs consistently sell out.
  • The club can accommodate a wide range of indoor and outdoor private events thanks to its beautiful function room and in-house catering. The facility hosts corporate and charity golf outings of up to 170 people, along with showers and birthday parties for as few as 12.
  • The grounds act as a small wildlife sanctuary, home to a half-dozen resident deer, seven goats, and a border collie named Tilly.

Daryn Brown has led Braintree Golf for three decades and is happy to see the community embrace the new programs and services. He adds, though, that one thing never changes.

“This is a golf course owned by the residents of Braintree. We could not do what we do without their support,” he said.

Top golf, good people

“The majority of our golfers are out here for camaraderie and exercise and a great walk on a soft, plush surface of grass,” said Daryn Brown, director of golf operations at Braintree Golf. (Photos: Mark Hunt)
Braintree Golf’s tee-time software offers specials every day for unfilled tee times. “We have substantial discounts on annual memberships and daily greens fees for residents,” said Daryn Brown, director of golf operations. See course rates and specials here. (Photos: Mark Hunt)

Business partnerships

New in 2023, businesses can purchase GPS advertising on Braintree Golf’s fleet of GPS-enabled golf carts. Display screens mounted to carts show an ad for 5 to 10 seconds on a particular hole. (Photo: Mark Hunt)

Catering and private events

Offering spectacular golf-course views, The Links Cafe at Braintree Golf was built in 2017 and is available for fully catered private events like family reunions and showers. The space can accommodate 130 people indoors and another 20 on the outdoor patio. (Photo: Mark Hunt)

Conservation and environmentalism

Braintree Golf is in the middle of a multi-year process to gain certification with Audubon International’s Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf. The club is documenting its commitment to reducing water and chemical usage, increasing wildlife habitat areas, and documenting animal populations (which include seven goats that munch on poison ivy and brush). Audubon recognition “will be a real feather in the cap for the town and the facility. Very few golf courses in the state have that certification.” said Daryn Brown, director of golf operations.

Braintree: Open for Business, Powered by BELD is a campaign celebrating the business leaders, companies, and ideas that enrich our community.
