Granite Links Golf Club Netting System Upgrade – Quincy, Massachusetts
In June 2016, Golf Range Netting completed a major driving range netting upgrade at Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy,
Massachusetts. The goal of this project was to improve safety, durability, and long-term containment performance.
Granite Links is one of the most recognizable golf facilities in New England. As a result, reliability and visual
integration were both important considerations during the upgrade.
Project Overview
This installation focused on replacing aging infrastructure while maintaining uninterrupted use of the facility.
The work included new steel support poles and nearly 70,000 square feet of engineered golf netting.
- Replacement of 14 steel poles
- 12 poles installed at 85 feet above grade
- 2 poles installed at 45 feet above grade
- 69,750 square feet of https://golfrangenetting.com/sports/golf-netting/golf netting replaced
- East side netting measured 550 feet long by 85 feet high
- West side netting measured 100 feet long by 85 feet high
- Five additional net panels measured 75 feet by 50 feet
The materials selected for this project were chosen to support long-term performance under constant use and exposure
to New England weather conditions.
The Granite Links Site and Its Unique History
Granite Links Golf Club sits on the historic Quarry Hills property. The site was once home to active granite quarries
that supplied stone used in iconic American structures, including the Bunker Hill Monument.
Later, the land served as municipal landfill sites before undergoing a large-scale environmental reclamation effort.
Millions of cubic yards of material from Boston’s Big Dig project were used to stabilize and reshape the area.
Today, the property stands as an example of successful land reuse. It blends championship golf with sweeping views
of the Boston skyline, harbor, and surrounding natural landscape.
Why Containment Upgrades Matter at Granite Links
Granite Links features elevated tees, long driving distances, and high ball speeds. These conditions create unique
containment challenges when compared to traditional flat driving ranges.
For this reason, the upgraded netting system was designed to improve safety while preserving sightlines and aesthetics.
The system helps protect nearby property, infrastructure, and guests.
- Improved ball containment
- Increased wind and weather resistance
- Reduced long-term maintenance needs
- Enhanced safety for players and surrounding areas
A Facility That Continues to Perform
Granite Links Golf Club remains fully operational today. The facility features 27 championship holes, practice
facilities, dining options, and event spaces.
The club continues to welcome players and guests from across the Greater Boston area. More information about the
facility can be found on their official website:

Revisiting a Proven Installation
Although this project was completed nearly a decade ago, it remains a strong example of long-term system performance.
As part of current website improvements, older projects like this one are being updated for clarity and documentation.
Many of today’s facilities face similar challenges. Increased usage, higher swing speeds, and greater expectations
for safety all make professional containment systems essential.
Golf Range Netting continues to design, manufacture, and install netting systems nationwide. Our experience spans
projects of all sizes, from local practice ranges to high-traffic destination facilities.
