Reservation Golf Club

About this course
Reservation Golf Club occupies a distinctive coastal setting in Mattapoisett, a small town on Buzzards Bay in southeastern Massachusetts. The course sits on land with historical significance to the Wampanoag people, reflected in its name. The property features the rolling terrain and natural vegetation characteristic of the Massachusetts South Coast, with views across the bay and exposure to prevailing winds that influence play throughout the year. The layout takes advantage of the coastal topography, incorporating elevation changes and native grasses into its design. Holes move through varied terrain that includes open, windswept areas and more sheltered corridors. The routing emphasizes strategic options rather than forced carries, allowing players to choose their level of risk based on conditions and skill. Several holes offer water views, and the wind patterns create different playing conditions depending on direction and strength. The club operates as a private facility serving the Mattapoisett area and surrounding South Coast communities. Its location between New Bedford and Cape Cod places it within a region with deep maritime history and a strong golf tradition. The course provides year-round access typical of coastal New England clubs, with seasonal variations in conditions and playability. The setting appeals to golfers who appreciate courses shaped by their natural environment and regional character rather than extensive earthmoving or manufactured features.
