About this course

The Original Course at Falmouth Country Club, known locally as "The Winter Course," was designed by Louie Rubesa and serves as the club's nine-hole layout in East Falmouth on Cape Cod. Rubesa, a regional architect active in New England during the mid-twentieth century, created a straightforward routing that takes advantage of the Cape's characteristic sandy soils and modest terrain. The course occupies property typical of the area, with scrub oak, pitch pine, and natural Cape vegetation framing the holes. The designation as "The Winter Course" reflects its traditional role in the club's seasonal calendar, remaining open when the club's longer eighteen-hole layout closes during colder months. This nine-hole track offers a more compact playing experience suited to Cape Cod's year-round golf community, with shorter distances and a routing that can be maintained and played through New England's variable weather. The sandy, well-draining soil common to the region allows for reasonable conditions even in the off-season. Falmouth Country Club has long served the Cape Cod golf community, and the Original Course provides members and visitors with an accessible option that complements the club's main course. The layout reflects the practical design sensibilities of its era, emphasizing playability and maintenance efficiency over dramatic features. For those exploring Cape Cod golf, the Winter Course represents the region's tradition of maintaining year-round play in a coastal New England setting.
