GOLF COURSE REVIEWS
Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket golf courses

  Cranberry Valley - 2007 Course Review
Fortunately for local golfers, Cape Cod already has its share of fine, taxpayer-produced links, especially in the Mid-Cape (liberally defined), including two in Brewster, two in Dennis, three in Yarmouth, and the pride of Harwich, Cranberry Valley. <more>

  The Brookside Club
The Brookside Club is the shorter course in this "long-short" equation, and it’s true that at 6,300 yards from the back tees, the Bourne layout is much more target golf than a succession of holes where you just rear back and blast the ball as far as you can. <more>

  Eastward Ho! and Willowbend Club
Falmouth Country Club is one of eight golf courses in the greater Falmouth area, including the two private clubs in Mashpee - New Seabury and Willowbend - as well as their public counterpart, Quashnet Valley. <more>

  Falmouth & Southers Marsh
Falmouth Country Club is one of eight golf courses in the greater Falmouth area, including the two private clubs in Mashpee - New Seabury and Willowbend - as well as their public counterpart, Quashnet Valley. <more>

  The Ridge Club, Sandwich Hollows & Holly Ridge
A short trip from the Meetinghouse in Sandwich, off Farmersville Rd., sits a small building with off-white shingles in the center of two roads – an entrance and an exit. <more>

  Golfing Yarmouth
How do you define a golfers’ haven? Is it the number and variety of quality golf courses? Or is it the affordability of those golf courses? Or is it the beauty of the region where the golf courses are located and the diversity of other activities available to its visitors? Or is it the number of quality lodging and dining places? <more>

  Golfing the Vineyard
Like the high-handicapper who’s trying to hit a long drive into an ocean wind, the biggest challenge facing a reviewer of the Martha’s Vineyard golf scene is to show some restraint, to just put a nice, smooth swing on it, and avoid the natural tendency to sound like a cheerleader. <more>

Woods Hole Golf Club
Woods Hole is the last village before the Town of Falmouth dribbles into a series of islands, and it is about as far from the sometimes honky-tonk world of Cape Cod as a person can get without leaving the peninsula. <more>

  Dennis Pines & Dennis Highlands
"The Heart of It All” is the Dennis Chamber of Commerce’s marketing slogan to help promote travel to the town. <more>

  Cranberry Valley Golf Course & The Wianno Club Golf Course
The Louvre Should Have Such A Collection Of Masterpieces. <more>

  Sankaty Head Golf Club
Some of us love to golf, and some of us love to go golfing. The difference is that some of us aren't so good that we can rely on the play itself to deliver the psychic goods. A trip to Nantucket serves both masters at once. <more>

  Nantucket Golf Club
The newest golf club on Nantucket is the Rees Jones-designed Nantucket Golf Club. It is located in Siasconset and is visible from the 15th tee of Sankaty Head. By utilizing the natural terrain, Rees Jonesí design team was able to insert this course into the land in a way that makes it feel as if itís always been there. <more>

  Oyster Harbors
Then they provided us with a golf experience that came as close to perfect as imaginable~ 6,711 yards of masterfully designed, artfully restored and meticulously maintained golf course that is surrounded by inconspicuous modern-day castles and protected from the outside world by a ringlet of saltwater that serves as a natural moat. <more>

    Hyannis Golf Club
"Very enjoyable layout with some difficult contours on the greens. At the end of the first nine, it gets a little ugly with the overhead power lines, but overall it is reasonable to look at. For the better player, there are birdie opportunities available, but equally there are ample chances to drop shots. For me, overall it was a nice introduction to American golf."<more>

    The Captains Golf Course  
Nineteenth century Brewster was home to dozens of sea captains who sailed the ocean blue and established trade routes throughout the world. Twenty-first Century Brewster pays homage to some of them by using their names to identify each of the 36 holes at the town’s two courses, Captain Bangs, Captain Nickerson and so on. (That’s why the facility is called "Captains" and not "Captain’s" as it is commonly misspelled.) <more>

   The Super Privates - Cape Cod's Hidden Gems 
The Great Island facing Nantucket – a mile or so south of the Great Island Tattoo Parlor on Route 28, straight down a street lined by summer cottages and the like, and into another world altogether - is a more private affair than even the exclusive Oyster Harbors. <more>
 
    The Best in Dennis
The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce has no official figures on the number of people who move to Cape Cod because of the incredible deals residents get at town-owned golf courses. One can only guess at the actual number, but former chamber director Mike Frucci, as far back as 10 years ago, claimed that there was a substantial number of new, year-round residents relocating to the Cape because of it's golf courses. <more>
