Merrimack Valley Golf Courses Near Boston: Where to Play and What It Costs

Carl's take

Look north when the courses near home don't fit your day. The Merrimack Valley shortlist crosses several towns and booking systems. Compare the full walking or riding bill, not just the first number on the rate card.

Start with your side of the valley

Tewksbury, North Reading and Haverhill are different journeys from Boston. Pick the meeting point that works for the group, then compare current public access. An older platform name or review price can be less useful than the course’s present booking link.

Trull Brook

For April–October 2026, walking 18 Monday–Thursday costs $50; riding costs $77. Riding is $89 Friday and $99 on weekends and holidays. Carts are required Friday–Sunday and holidays before 2pm. Weekend nine-hole riding is $86.

Use the Club Caddie booking portal linked from the operator’s site. Check the price for the selected start time; later rates may differ from the main rate card.

Hillview

The posted walking fee for 18 is $46 Monday–Friday and $51 on weekends and holidays; nine holes costs $26 or $31. An 18-hole cart adds $20 per rider. Senior and junior discounts have day and time restrictions.

Phone weekend and holiday reservations open the preceding Monday at 7am; weekday reservations open the preceding Thursday at 7am. Weekend times before 3pm require four players for 18 holes. Call the shop for current closures and scheduling.

Bradford Country Club

Live public booking pricing. Cart terms: $25 for 18 on published 2026 membership terms.

The public receives a seven-day booking window. Published 2026 membership materials give members and the $350 Inner Club a ten-day window. Public prices are live, so compare the actual time and then decide whether three extra days would solve a recurring availability problem.

The release method matters

Hillview publishes phone release days for weekday and weekend reservations. Trull Brook’s walking option depends on day and time. Bradford has member products with earlier access. Ask which booking class applies to you before assuming the longest window is public.
