Dennis Golf

Highland at Dennis Golf Club occupies a distinctive position on Cape Cod, designed by Jack Kidwell and Dr. Michael Hurdzan. The course reflects the collaborative approach of these architects, who have worked together on numerous projects emphasizing strategic design and environmental sensitivity. The layout takes advantage of the natural Cape Cod terrain, incorporating the region's characteristic sandy soils and native vegetation into the playing experience. The routing moves through varied topography for the Cape, with elevation changes that are notable for this coastal area. The design philosophy emphasizes options and angles rather than forced carries, allowing golfers of different skill levels to navigate the course through thoughtful play. The bunkering and green complexes reward accurate approach shots while providing recovery opportunities for those who miss in the right places. Dennis, located on the mid-Cape, provides a setting that balances accessibility with the traditional Cape Cod golf atmosphere. The course serves both local membership and visitors exploring the Cape's collection of public and semi-private facilities. Highland represents the kind of modern design work that has expanded Cape Cod's golf offerings beyond its historic seaside links, bringing contemporary strategic principles to the region's inland terrain. The conditioning and playability reflect the advantages of working with the Cape's natural drainage and the architects' understanding of sustainable course management.
