McGolf

Came here on a nice evening on a weekday and it wasn’t that busy at all. There were plenty of space for the driving range. A bucket of balls were $ 9 which is a bit pricey because richardson’s was $ 11 for a large and it was significantly bigger than mcgolf’s bucket. Overall I would come back since it’s so close to my apartment.

This review is for the driving range only!
Living in Brighton, McGolf is my range of choice. Gotta give kudos to ownership for keeping a well maintained facility. They just rolled out brand new balls, range mats, and bright neon flags. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Sometimes you may even be lucky enough to get a free tip from one of the instructors walking by.
One of the few qualms about McGolf is that it gets very crowded very easily. Making a pre-​round trip to the range a bit tough on weekends, especially when you’re with a group of two or more. Over the last couple years we’ve seen the price of a bucket rise ever so slightly. While the size of the buckets have stayed the same. Which brings me to my next qualm… Why no bucket size options? I digress…
Overall McGolf is a great establishment for people and children of all ages. Staff is super friendly and facilities are nice. 4 Stars! Well done!

McGolf is a great driving range that I have visited quite a few times now. They have an uncovered section and also a covered section which is nice when it’s super hot or inclement weather. The driving range is well maintained with nice mats, good markers, and affordable prices (9 bucks for a bucket). Skill level ranges from beginner to experienced which is great if you are just starting and don’t want to feel super intimidated. You can also rent clubs if you need to.
Great ice cream shop and mini golf course on the property as well if you are in the mood after your time at the range! Only downside of mini golf is it seems to get pretty backed up. If you are visiting at a peak time be ready to wait quite a bit at each hole.
Taking away one star because the parking lot is absolutely insane. They need to do something about it ASAP. Super small for a place of this size and if you come on a weekend you can expect to be waiting for parking or just looping around endlessly hoping someone will leave. When I visited this past weekend I actually saw people parking smack dab in the middle of the lot out of pure desperation, crazy! Given that it’s the only range in the area it can get crazy crowded, hoping that when the Brookline course opens their range end of July things start to thin out a bit!

This is probably one of the better driving ranges in the area, but the prices seem pretty high at $ 9 for a very average sized basket of golf balls. It gets very busy as well during peak times and the weekends. If you go with a couple friends, there is a good chance you won’t be able to hit next to them. It is a nice little area with a snack bar, mini golf course and a short-​game practice area. It is too bad you have to be a member to use the short game area and the price for a 3 month membership is $ 225.

One of the best ranges near Boston. The buckets are always full with newer balls and there are plenty of spots even during busy times!

McGolf is a well-​maintained driving range along with a mini golf course. The driving range maintains good yardage markers, functional mats and offers good lighting at night. I’ve visited multiple times and the wait is never terrible. They have both a covered and open section. A bucket of balls costs $ 9, but they also have a stamp card deal for those who intend to visit more often. Beware of mosquitoes! I highly recommend bringing some bug spray when playing on a summer night. They also have heating lamps in the winter! Parking has never been an issue for me. Treat yourself to some post-​range ice cream (located at the opposite end of the cashier).
Ooooh, it’s definitely a potential date spot too ;)

I’ve come here on twice, once for mini golf and recently for the driving range. Both times were my first time trying the activities. The mini golf was entertaining throughout. We did have to wait a while behind some other patrons, this was on a Tuesday afternoon so I can’t imagine the wait on the weekends. I feel like there’s not too much I can ramble on about the mini golf so I’ll just proceed to the driving range. Each bucket is $ 9 which I was told used to be $ 5 so that was a lost of a star. But the range is absolutely gorgeous. I now understand why so many men go golfing because it’s such a peaceful hobby, well at this location it is. There is a covered section but I opted to catch some sun that day. As a first time golfer I think it’s safe to say that McGolf was an excellent experience and they are the cause of my future golf addiction.

Overall, McGolf is a great place.
There are a few flaws in the place, but overall a fun spot for Mini-​Golf any time of year (since they are open year round).
Exit 16A off Route 128, or Route 109 Exit off of the VFW Parkway.

What a set up! Organized and ready for sun, shade and cold! Very friendly helpful staff, free golf clubs, and many bays to swing away! My only complaint was that after the driving range I thought I might want to practice my short game and was told that was for members only… Disappointed!

The driving range is good and is covered so you can hit golf balls despite bad weather. The people who work here are nice. My kids love the mini golf.

Decent driving range to hit a bucket of balls. The prices are a bit high and they are nt very lefty friendly. Their tees are also in tough shape.
The best part about this place is the covered over section. Rain or snow you can hit a bucket of balls.

This is a great place to spend an hour or two. The miniature golf course is very well kept — there’s hardly any litter around. The holes vary in difficulty and there are some pretty creative ones. I love the pond in the beginning of the course. My only miff is that towards the end of the course — around hole 15, there’s a huge backlog of people waiting for their turn. I think part of the reason is because some people speed along the course without really playing the game. Kids can come crawling onto your course so you should keep an eye on your ball at all times. Well-​behaved kids should be rewarded with the largest ice cream sundae at the snack bar.

As a new golfer, this is probably the nicest range I’ve been to in Massachusetts. There are a ton of tee boxes, the place has great availability, and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, it’s a bit expensive, which is my reasoning for just 4 stars.

This driving range is awesome! Nothing beats $ 8.50 for a bucket of balls on a beautiful range in the evening. They have a nice café for refreshments and what not. So you can have a bite and a drink with your lady and hit some balls down the range for a good date night!

We went for the mini-​golf. Nice fun on a Sunday afternoon. Prices are reasonable — $ 8 for an adult, 18 holes. Beautiful ambience — waterfall, fish, fountains, etc. The wife and I won a free round for our next trip here.
A majority of the holes were plain; as in lacking obstacles. Its an open course and hence prone to the vagaries of nature. It can get crowded on a Saturday/​Sunday afternoon. So be patient with the little kid in the group ahead of you.
We would visit this place again. We kind of have to because of the free passes.

The absolute best driving range in the greater Boston area. The owner buys new balls and driving mats every year. The café is fantastic and a mini golf putt putt course is attached that the kids love. Packed any day the temperature is above 45 and there is no rain.

The driving range is well marked with yardage, the mats are in good shape, and there is always an open spot, even when the place is at its busiest.
The cons for the range are the price. You get a bucket of about 50 balls for $ 8.50 and it feels a little excessive. You do get a ticket that will eventually get you a free bucket, but I’d appreciate either a larger bucket option to get some value, or a slight reduction in price on the «regular» bucket.
There is also a short game area, but it’s members only. You cannot buy a day pass to use the facility, which is odd because hardly anyone is ever using it.
The mini golf course is fun. I think I prefer a more carnival approach to mini golf, and not the pseudo-​natural thing that this course attempts. No giant windmills, crazy ramps, etc, on this course. The only obstacles are small rocks. Many of the holes are just 15 foot, straight at the hole putts.
The mini course is also a bit frustrating, because the mats are not level and have strange slants and angles that make even two foot putts unreliable.
I like this place, but I do think its slightly overpriced for what you get. It’s fun, though, and I always go back.

My kids LOVE McGolf. It has a challenging 18 hole minature golf course with a great ice cream snack bar shack that serve sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, fries etc…
The driving range is perfect and is set up to be used all year long. They have heated and covered bays. You can also become a member and use their real grass chipping and putting green with sand trap.
Perfect for all ages and everyone!!!

*shwooosh*
«Dammit, it’s in the %$#@$@# net again on the right. Stupid slice! God this game is so hard! Looks like I have to practice more! Oh wait, guess what, I heard McGolf is now open year round?»
«Year round you say?»
«Yes, year round. They’ve redone half of their compound and extended their restaurant which is now bigger and offers way more food. Along with it, about a third of the stalls that are on the left are now covered and heated»
«OMG! That’s awesome! Are the buckets still $ 8? It’s a tad expensive compared to other places both in and out of Massachusetts but still a great place with ample parking. Snow or rain, I guess I’ll still go there regardless. Actually I might head over now…»
«Don’t forget they have mini golf too. God knows you could work on your putting…»
