Granite Links

What Granite Links does

Granite Links operates a 540-acre semi-private golf and hospitality destination in Quincy, Massachusetts, less than seven miles from downtown Boston. The core asset is 27 championship holes across three interchangeable nine-hole layouts (Granite 9, Milton 9, Quincy 9), built on reclaimed landfills and granite quarries using 13 million tons of fill from Boston's Big Dig project. A 43,000-square-foot clubhouse completed in 2006 anchors the property alongside a year-round practice facility with Trackman launch monitor bays, three restaurants (The Tavern year-round, Crossing Nines and The Links seasonal), and seven distinct event spaces with capacities ranging from 32 to 600 guests.

The business operates three diversified revenue streams. Public access drives green-fee revenue at $130-$180 per round plus twilight, resident, senior, and junior rates. Membership programs (Individual, Family, Corporate) provide recurring subscription revenue and are fully subscribed for 2026 with an active waitlist, offering members preferred tee times, a rotating member-only nine, exclusive practice and dining access, and a fitness center. Event hosting — including weddings, corporate outings, special occasions, and golf tournaments for up to 144 players — utilizes a dedicated sales team of 8+ professionals and represents a material third revenue line supported by awards from The Knot and WeddingWire.

The company is privately held by Marina Bay Management Services, with Walter Hannon III as Managing Partner of Granite Links and Mary Orlando as CEO/CFO of the parent. Technology infrastructure includes Northstar club management software powering the website and member portal, GPS-equipped electric golf carts, online tee-time booking, OpenTable restaurant reservations, and Noteefy's AI assistant for tee-time waitlist management. Operations are run by an executive team spanning golf, F&B, events, facilities, and procurement, supported by PGA-certified instruction staff. The club has accumulated multi-year recognition including Golf Digest Top 100 Greatest Public Courses, Golf Advisor #2 in the Country for Course Conditions, NGCOA New England Course of the Year (2010), and Forbes Top Ten Best Urban Courses in America.
