Chatham Seaside Links


About this course
Chatham Seaside Links occupies a distinctive coastal setting on the elbow of Cape Cod in Chatham, Massachusetts. The course sits near the Atlantic shoreline in a region known for its maritime character, sandy soils, and exposure to ocean winds. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain common to Cape Cod golf courses, with rolling ground, native grasses, and views that often extend toward the water. The design reflects the links tradition that has influenced several Cape courses, emphasizing ground game options and strategic shot-making in variable wind conditions. The routing works through coastal topography that includes elevation changes and open vistas characteristic of the outer Cape. Holes typically feature wide fairways that reward thoughtful positioning, with hazards and green complexes that require careful approach play. The conditioning and presentation reflect the Cape's sandy foundation, which allows for firm, fast playing surfaces during much of the season. The course serves both members and visitors seeking a traditional golf experience in one of New England's most scenic coastal communities. Chatham itself is a historic Cape Cod town with deep maritime roots, and the club fits within that cultural context. The setting provides a quieter alternative to some of the Cape's busier resort destinations, with the golf experience centered on the natural landscape and strategic design rather than elaborate amenities. Players encounter a layout that rewards local knowledge of wind patterns and ground contours.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), roughly ninety miles northwest, before embarking on a leisurely two-hour drive that traces the arc of Cape Cod's outer elbow. The route carries you across the Cape Cod Canal, through the mid-Cape towns, and finally onto Route 28 as it bends eastward toward the Atlantic - a gradual shedding of mainland urgency in favor of salt air and weathered shingle. As you enter Chatham proper, the road narrows past rose-covered cottages and white picket fences, delivering you to the Links perched on the very edge of Pleasant Bay, where the land meets the sea with quiet, windswept grace.
