George Wright: a Boston muni worth setting a reminder for

Carl's take

George Wright is the Boston round to consider when you want a hillier Donald Ross course at municipal prices. The catch is access: check the permit and public release days before planning around a Saturday morning.

The reason to plan ahead

George Wright is the Boston round I would put on the calendar before sorting out lunch or transport. The Donald Ross design gives a walking golfer a reason to choose a municipal course on its own merits. Pick tees for the approaches you can hit, rather than making the back tees part of the occasion.

Make the release time your first appointment. A season permit changes the booking window; a Boston address changes the green fee. Those are different benefits, and it pays to have the right account ready before the sheet opens.

The published price

Boston resident walking fees for 18 holes are $46 Monday–Friday and $55 on weekends and holidays; non-residents pay $61 and $70. Carts cost extra.
