    On Thursday October 23, over 400 plus guests attended a lavish evening at Granite Links with food and beverages, Sponsored by Quincy 400, Eastern Bank plus The Next Chapter Books! In honor of Boston Native Author, Writer, Producer Dennis Lehane at a Lecture, Meet and Greet, along with a Book Signing of his published 14 Novels. This anticipated event brought the hundreds of area fans to hear and learn of his journey from his First Novel, "A Drink Before the War", published in 1994. Which began a series of crime novels. He quickly became New York Times Best-Selling Author with novels such as Gone, Baby, Gone in 1998, Mystic River in 2001 His Most Famous Novel), Shutter Island in 2003, The Given Day in 2008, Small Mercies in 2023 plus many more. Dennis Lehane has had his Novels adapted to Major Films. Besides his Book writing he has written for Netflix, HBO, plus Apple TV. He is also in development of his next Series for Apple TV along with adapting three of Author Stephen Kings Novels. With Dennis Lehane's organizational brilliance his passion is felt in his works! With him seated on stage along with Moderator Rob "Hardy" Poole, from 98.5 Sports Hub , begins his Introduction of Author Lehane by giving the audience abit of back story of his life in Boston, talking about he was raised in Dorchester, his Education and his entrance as a published Author. Along with the Awards Dennis Lehane has received. He turns the interview over to Dennis Lehane who quickly enlightened his guests all fixated on every word and stories, plus facts and he told all of us that he "Loved the Quarries", which reminded him of a story he heard about, "A young gentleman diving in the Quincy Quarries to be impaled by a car antenna thru his eye"! You could hear the gasps coming from the guests. He did mention he wasn't sure if it was true or not but it definitely made his stories abit more interesting to hear! He recalled as a youth that living in Dorchester, " That all the girls were heavily Catholic.....so he came to Quincy"! A bit of levity made the audience laugh! You could tell he was very comfortable speaking honestly and how he enjoys to write about his characters as "just people" and characters in "extreme situations". He cares about the journey his characters takes plus he premised that his next Novel might have "A Tiger Mom and let her loose against the Irish Mob in Boston". Dennis Lehane spoke about his time with his "Favorite Actor", Ray Liotta with abit of levity. Toward the end of the lecture he mentioned to a very happy room full of guests that, "Small Mercies soon to be shot here". He spent 50 years here in Boston before moving to Los Angeles with his wife. After, he took questions from the audience and after a huge line was formed for his one on one book signing! The room was electric with joy. A gracious and grateful Guest of Honor, Dennis Lehane, truly gave his adoring fans a night to remember! A heartfelt "THANK YOU", to our Mayor Koch, and all Quincy Staff that made this Event Possible and Memorable! Granite Links gave this event the best Service and Attention and the food and beverages were well displayed and tasty and the bartenders were very attentive! Thank you for a great time at this beautiful establishment!

    Beautiful spot to view a fantastic sky line . Food is delicious and our waiter Tom was very attentive. The wine glasses were extremely spotty. I would suggest someone to look them over first and clean them with a cloth before serving wine.

    I'd put it at more of a 3.5 stars rating which is still pretty good in my book. We came here for brunch with a group of 8 on a busy weekend. The food was fine - what you would expect as standard brunch fare. I got the steak omelette which was huge and filling. The waffle was pretty standard but they were generous with the berries. My mocktail was tasty but the blueberry one that my wife got was way too sweet and syrupy. The views of the city and golf course was nice. You'll definitely be paying higher prices as expected with dining at a clubhouse but the portions are large. Anyways it was a fine experience and my rating is meant to reflect that it met my expectations going in.

    Been here for several occasions and always had a good experience! The service is always great and everyone has loved their meals here. My favorites have been the steak tips and the spinach and artichoke dip.

    We had a wonderful afternoon lunch at the Tavern at Granite Links! Open to the public with a beautiful view of the Boston skyline, I highly recommend a meal at the Tavern. We started with a round of cranberry margaritas. I'm not sure if this is a seasonal winter drink or on the menu year round, but it's definitely something I'll be recreating at home. Not too sweet and not too bitter, it really hits the spot! For our appetizers, we ordered Grandma's meatballs, arancini, and the shrimp cocktail. The dishes came out piping hot and were the perfect amount for the 5 of us. Chef Paul even came out to check on us and shared that the meatballs were his own grandma's recipe! For my entree, I ordered the wilted spinach salad. The star of the dish was the cashew dressing that has a spicy kick to it. What a way to amp up a salad! If you're not afraid of flavor, this is the salad for you. My husband ordered the prime rib sandwich, which was warm and hearty, perfect for the cold winter day. Our server Meghan was so friendly and attentive. She ensured we had everything we needed and was prompt with both our wine and water. I will definitely be requesting her next time I dine at Granite Links.

    I've been here on 3 separate occasions: my rehearsal dinner, for my colleague's wedding, and for lunch/driving range. Honestly, this place has amazing food and really friendly staff. Oh and it's really darn pretty! For my rehearsal dinner, I had a more casual cocktail buffet style dinner located in the side room next to the Tavern. We had different stations: taco, southern station, tenderloin, salad, pasta, and ice cream. We probably had way too many stations but it was so delicious. For my colleague's wedding, the cocktail hour was in the tent. There was charcuterie, cocktail shrimp, lamb chops, and other items. The servers made their rounds frequently. The drinks were great too! The ballroom was nice and had a patio that overlooks the skyline. The food again was great. Then I came here for the driving range and stopped at the tavern for lunch. I got the haddock and my husband got the Nashville pizza. BOMB! I usually don't rave this hard about a place but I've had wonderful experiences here. Will definitely be back.

    Beautiful scenery! I found this gem on Yelp and we went to go try this place! We went for just the driving range and going at sunset was beautiful! We got a pitcher of the strawberry lemonade drink I wanna say and it's pretty strong and doesn't taste too sweet! The range is first come first serve we had to wait maybe 15 mins for a spot but grabbed a drink and just watched people hit! They're open til about 10 on the weekdays and have lights that come on when it gets dark! We haven't tried the food but a bucket of balls is only $15! What a steal! Plenty of parking too thats no extra charge!

    This shot says it all!

    Since it was a hot day, my friends and wanted to golf later in the day with a cart. According to…read morethe website, Ponkapoag had a tee time of 5:10 pm for 9 holes with a cart available. We booked through an app and it came out to $88 for three - not bad. However, when we arrived, we were told carts stop around 4:30 pm and instead were given push carts. Since we did not book directly with them, the person working couldn't refund us the cart prices and the app did not have an option to dispute a charge. We noticed that the majority of the hole's putting green had either very tall grass, it was brown and dead, or there were dirt patches which made the game more difficult. The fairways on some of the holes were good, and for others, lots of poorly maintained areas. We were grateful we had a map on the scorecard since it wasn't always intuitive on how to get to the next hole or the shape of the hole. In terms of difficulty, I would say this was a 6/10 course, but I am not an expert so take my opinion with a grain of salt. We lost a lot of balls since most of the holes have tall grass or shrubs on either side and we sucked at hitting straight. Their parking lot is big, with some spots in the shade to help keep our cars cooler. They did stop cart services by the time we started golfing, and there were no water jugs so definitely bring your own water to stay hydrated.

    We played Course #1 (Donald Ross design) and although the fairways and rough were in decent shape,…read morethe greens were completely unplayable. I think there were 5-6 temporary greens and then the remainder weren't puttable as the grass was pretty much the same as the fairways. And the greens being repaired were just roped off with no evidence there were going to be repaired. This course has a great routing and can be tough, but the State does little to nothing to maintain it and no matter the cost it's not really worth it if you can't putt. It's time for the State to sell to a golf course developer who will restore this course.

    This review is only for the mini golf and no food or drinks…read more Came here for a family outing and it was super fun! It's cool how modern and interesting the course is. Also super cool how tech savvy it all is as the sensors remember who is playing and how many moves you've made. There were three 9 hole courses. Each one was unique. We came in the middle of the day on a Saturday and the waits weren't too bad but I can foresee this getting a bit busy as the night wears on. Some people complain about the wait time but that comes with putt putt territory. Sometimes you get lucky and you're surrounded by small groups. Sometimes a big crowd of kids are in front of you so you wait a lot. To me that is just putt putt. There were lots of TVs so I can see this being a great place to watch a game and have a drink! Or maybe even date night. Fun for all ages. Can't comment on parking as we walked here.

    We came here on a Sunday for a staff outing and chose the unlimited mini golf…read more The bartender recommended their house Old Fashioned when I ordered a standard; decent, but extremely overpriced. There wasn't much direction, and no one to guide us where to go. We figured out the kiosk ourselves and eventually made it to golfing. The courses are fun, but every shelf and table was littered with empty drink glasses and beer bottles from previous groups (anyone here ever heard of a ROUND?). My biggest gripe was the bar closing early, and staff already preparing and cleaning the course while we were still playing. They seemed noticeably frustrated that we were there, even though this was about half an hour before their posted closing time. Being in hospitality, that behavior gave off serious "please leave so we can call it a night" energy from basically everyone working. To the managers/owners: if you don't want people there until 10, close at 9. We paid a lot of money for this experience, and thank you for showing our team what not to do. 2 stars for the game and the concept, zero for hospitality and execution. GET IT TOGETHER.
