Few resort destinations can beat Cape Cod when it comes to great golf. Everyone from a beginner to a handicapped pro will find a course to challenge their particular skill set at any one of 27 public and 15 private courses. Dotted here and there among Cape Cod’s numerous quaint little villages, the courses run the gamut from friendly par 3s to professionally designed clubs of tournament quality. Combine the natural beauty of Cape Cod with the region’s mild climate, and it is no wonder golfers can be found on the fairways here nearly 52 weeks a year. Here’s your guide to golfing on Cape Cod.
We’re fortunate to be centrally located in the mid-Cape area, affording easy access to 4 great public courses near our bed and breakfast inn in historic Bass River. Choose a course with a view of Bass River, one with three 9-hole courses that you can combine for a 27-hole championship-level outing, or a par 3 course with short yardage, but challenging water holes.
Here’s what to expect from our hometown golf courses.
