Concierge.com's insider take:
With temperatures moderated by warm ocean currents, Cape Cod is that rare place in New England where golfers can enjoy their sport almost year-round. Some of the Cape's 15 private courses are open to guests of certain hotels—you can play the Nicklaus-redesigned Ocean Edge Golf Club if you're staying at the Ocean Edge Resort and Club, for example—while others are ultraexclusive. The Donald Ross–designed Oyster Harbors Club in Osterville, for instance, famously turned away the billionaire president of Reebok, who ended up buying his own golf course in Mashpee. But no matter, the Cape's 20 public, municipal, and semiprivate courses are generally just as good. The Bass River Golf Course—also designed by Ross—has the Bass River as its inspiring backdrop. One of the newest courses, Ballymeade in East Falmouth, was redesigned by Chi Chi Rodriguez, and the oldest, Highland Links in North Truro, recalls Scotland with its windswept bluffs overlooking the ocean. A complete list of Cape Cod golf courses is available from the Massachusetts Golf Association (mgalinks.org).
