Contrary to what some people realize, The Club at New Seabury is accessible for non-members, thanks to stay-and-play accommodations: 19 two-bedroom, two-bathroom Sea Quarter Cottages. These lodgings are tucked into a quiet section of the property between the first and 10th holes of the Dunes Course. Nicely appointed and built in classic Cape Cod…
Staying at Blue Rock is one of the best values on Cape Cod. You're away from the hustle-and-bustle of the beach towns, but close enough to enjoy them, if you so wish. The motel-style accommodations are comfortable and convenient. There's a restaurant onsite. The 2,868-yard Blue Rock Golf Course serves as the perfect alternative to a full…
The 429-acre Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club in Brewster, Mass., is divided into two distinct sections: The Mansion, a Victorian building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and The Villages, a collection of villas closest to golf, kayaking and more. The resort offers something for everyone, from private dinners with views of Cape…
Whether you’re at Cape Cod with the family, or on vacation with your significant other, there’s plenty to do. A great place for the kids is taking them to Skull Island Sports World. Spread out across 10 acres of land is a massive mini-golf course, driving range, batting cages, go-karts, and so much more.
In a town more known for its famous "rock" than its green grass fairways, golf is slowing taking over the tourist scene in this New England tourist town. Striking daily-fee courses aren't the norm in the country club world of the East Coast havens like New York and Boston, but that is changing as golf booms continue to build bigger and better public places to play, like the Pinehills Golf Club.
Squirrel Run Golf & Country Club in Plymouth, Mass. may be short at just 2,859 yards -- which is what you get when you have 15 par 3s out of 18 holes. But it's long enough and interesting enough to get most golfers excited. The course is enjoyable for everyone, especially high handicappers and beginners, Mike Bailey writes.
With six par 3s and two short par 4s, Bay Pointe Club in Onset, Mass. seems to be ripe for the taking, but it rarely happens. Low scores tend to be derailed by long par 3s, rolling topography, 38 bunkers and two ponds. The operative word about playing it is fun. Thanks to the par 3s, golfers get a couple extra chances at a hole in one. It's one of the best values of golf on or near Cape Cod.
Few regions can compare with Cape Cod's wealth of golf courses, which number more than 40. Best of all, most of them are open to the public. One of these, however, Sandwich Hollows Golf Club, has been more like a secret haven just for locals and in-the-know vacationers. Leigh MacKay has more on this no-longer-hidden gem.
The former Ballymeade C.C. in Falmouth, Mass. will reopen this summer as The Cape Club by Troon after extensive changes to the golf course, clubhouse and more.
The "country club for a day" certainly has a new meaning at The Cape Club by Troon, a high-end, daily-fee golf course scheduled to open Aug. 3 on the Massachusetts Cape.
The solution for those golfers who cannot spend four or more hours on the course is to find worthy, shorter tracks. The South Shore of Boston offers four superior alternatives that are but minutes off the direct road from the city to Cape Cod: Weathervane Golf Club, Rockland Golf Course, Little Harbor and North Hill C.C. Leigh MacKay has more.
Blue Rock Golf Resort in South Yarmouth, Mass. might be lacking some of the amenities of Cape Cod's larger, fancier resorts -- the championship course, the spa, the beach -- but it has a way of seducing guests into a relaxed state of mind. Blue Rock offers the down-home charm that bigger big-box resorts just can't replicate. It's the kind of place where the staff members will remember your name and how you like your coffee.
Like The Country Club at Brookline, there's plenty of history at the Robert T. Lynch Municipal Golf Course at Putterham. But as a pure golf experience, Robert T. Lynch holds its own. The holes have all kinds of interesting angles and greens complexes, plus there's been an effort of late to restore the course, undoubtedly better than it's ever been.
With six par 3s and two short par 4s, The Bay Pointe Club in the "Upper portion" of Cape Cod seems to be ripe for the taking -- but that rarely happens. A unique mix of long and short holes might allow a birdie one moment, then steal the strokes right back.
Nearly two years in the making, The Cape Club in Falmouth, Mass. is a new public golf course built over the old Ballymeade C.C. It offers a stellar "country club for a day" experience.
The 2,868-yard Blue Rock Golf Course in South Yarmouth, Mass. serves as the perfect alternative to a full championship layout, with holes ranging from 103 yards to 255 yards. It takes less time to play and costs less, leaving more time spent on those pristine Cape Cod beaches. The course is an amenity of Blue Rock Golf Resort; one of the best values on the cape.
There are two golf courses on the property of Putterham in Brookline, both of them historic. Only one of them, though, is open to the public, the municipal Robert T. Lynch Municipal Course at Putterham. The course, which dates back to 1931, actually borders the famous Country Club at Brookline. It plays around 6,400 yards from the tips, but with elevated greens, doglegs and a variety of holes, it challenges players of every level.
