Highland Links Golf Course

Highland Links, clinging to the windswept dunes of Provincetown, Massachusetts, lays claim to being the oldest golf course in the area, a testament to the enduring allure of the game against a backdrop of maritime history. Designed in the late 19th century, Highland presents a raw, links-style experience shaped by relentless coastal winds and undulating fescue grasses. Blind shots and unpredictable bounces are the norm, rewarding creativity and adaptability over brute force. Golfers navigating its tight fairways often find themselves playing alongside the ghosts of mariners, artists, and the hearty souls who have long called this remote corner of Cape Cod home. It’s a thinking man's course, demanding patience and a touch of seafaring intuition. While Highland Links may not command the global recognition of championship venues, it holds a unique position as a beloved local institution. It's a place where generations of Cape Codders have learned the game, and where summer visitors find a respite from the bustling beaches, swapping stories over post-round chowder and soaking in the panoramic views of the Atlantic. The modest clubhouse is a repository of local lore, the walls adorned with vintage photographs and faded scorecards, each telling a silent tale of triumphs and tribulations on this idiosyncratic layout.
