Golf Resort Stays Near Brae Burn Country Club

A Greater Boston Base for Golfers

Treat this as a Greater Boston base rather than a resort stay. The hotels split into Waltham suite hotels with free breakfast and an indoor pool, full-service hotels in Newton and Needham, and Cambridge hotels for travelers who want museums, Fenway Park and Harvard within reach.

Waltham is the practical middle ground. Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston Waltham, Best Western Plus Waltham Boston, Hilton Garden Inn Boston/Waltham and Hampton Inn and Suites Boston/Waltham all list an indoor pool, and several add free breakfast. Hampton Inn and Suites, rated 8.8 from 963 reviews, lists a free hot breakfast and a fitness center, while Hyatt House Boston/Waltham lists a heated outdoor pool, in-suite kitchens and a golf amenity. For a group that wants breakfast sorted before an early tee time, this cluster is the easiest to book. Embassy Suites lists a grill restaurant, and Best Western Plus Waltham Boston a bar and restaurant.

Newton itself has the most direct option. Boston Marriott Newton, rated 8.0 from over 2,200 reviews, lists an indoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center and an on-site American eatery and pub, two minutes from Commonwealth Avenue. Sheraton Boston Needham Hotel adds an indoor pool, a bar and a cafe, and is rated 7.8 from nearly 1,200 reviews. Both list business or meeting space, which helps if your golf group also needs a room to gather in the evening, and both sit a short drive from the course. Neither is a resort, but each gives a full-service base with a bar on site.

Cambridge suits travelers who want the city around the golf. DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Boston - Cambridge, the most reviewed hotel on this page with 2,380 reviews and a rating of 8.6, lists an indoor pool, a hot tub, an American restaurant and a jazz club, nine minutes from the Museum of Fine Arts. Courtyard by Marriott Boston Cambridge lists two restaurants and a riverside setting, nine minutes from Fenway Park, and AC Hotel Boston Cambridge lists a terrace lounge with tapas, a 24/7 gym and an indoor pool. I would look at the DoubleTree Suites first if the evening matters as much as the round.

For longer stays or a tighter budget, a few options stand out. Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Watertown, rated 9.2 from 833 reviews, lists an indoor pool, in-suite kitchens and a terrace and bar. Holiday Inn Express Boston-Waltham by IHG, rated 8.8, lists free hot breakfast, a business center and direct I-95 access. Studio Allston Hotel lists complimentary parking and Wi-Fi, eight minutes from Fenway Park, a useful detail for a group arriving by car and splitting its time between golf and the city. Hyatt House Boston/Waltham also lists full-service laundry, which helps on a longer trip.

Newton sits on Boston's western edge, a residential city of villages with quick routes into Boston and Cambridge. Waltham adds an easy choice of hotels beside I-95, while Cambridge brings Harvard, museums and river views. Logan Airport is a short drive, which keeps a golf weekend simple.
