Brookline Golf Course Reopens After Major Drainage Overhaul

BROOKLINE, MA — The town's public golf course is fully back in play after a nine-month improvement project that town officials say delivered the biggest drainage upgrade since the course opened in 1933.

Brookline Golf Course reopened its full 18-hole layout on July 4, following work that redesigned and expanded creeks, dredged existing waterways, daylighted 1,500 feet of culverts and added another 1,000 feet of underground drainage pipe.

The project was more than a turf fix, as it was meant to help the course handle stormwater more effectively while also adding new wildlife habitat areas, making the West Roxbury Parkway property part recreation space, part climate-resilience project.

Brookline Recreation is marking the reopening with a community event on Friday, July 17, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The free event, hosted with National Links Trust, will offer lessons for kids and adults in full swing, chipping and putting. Registration is required.

The town described the work as the first phase of a longer-term master renovation plan for the course. Architects Mark Mungeam and Tim Gerrish led the project.
