About this course
Old Sandwich, carved from the rolling, sandy terrain of Plymouth, Massachusetts, whispers of classic heathland courses found across the pond, despite its relatively recent vintage. It is instantly recognizable as a throwback with a focus on purity. Coore & Crenshaw's 2004 design seamlessly marries the firm's minimalist philosophy with the site’s natural undulations and native fescue grasses. The course stretches long, rewarding length and a deft touch around the greens. Subtle doglegs, strategically placed bunkers, and the ever-present wind ensure a test that favors shotmakers who can move the ball in either direction, with blind shots and uneven lies adding to the challenge. While Old Sandwich has largely remained outside the professional tournament spotlight, its membership rolls boast some of the game’s most accomplished amateurs and professionals who value its understated elegance and challenging layout. The low profile and high quality makes it an attractive escape from the spotlight for its members who value the privacy and challenge.

Getting there
Old Sandwich Golf Club lies just under an hour south of Boston Logan International Airport, a straightforward drive that traces the arc of Massachusetts Bay before turning inland toward Plymouth's storied coastline. Private arrivals may opt for Plymouth Municipal Airport, a discreet gateway mere minutes from the property. The route gradually sheds the density of the South Shore for quieter two-lanes flanked by scrub oak and pitch pine, the landscape growing sandier and more elemental as you approach the club's understated entrance - a fitting transition into one of New England's most fiercely protected golfing sanctuaries.
