Sandwich Hollows Golf Club
About this course
Sandwich Hollows Golf Club sits in East Sandwich on Cape Cod, where it occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region's glacial landscape. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1976, with later work by Melvin Lucas Jr. contributing to its current form. As a municipal facility, it serves both residents and visitors to the Cape, offering public access to a layout that reflects Jones's mid-career design principles. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes uncommon for Cape Cod courses, moving through wooded corridors and open areas that create varied playing conditions. The property features several holes with significant downhill or uphill approaches, and the design incorporates water hazards and bunkers positioned to test shot placement. The par-3s and short par-4s require accuracy over distance, while longer holes demand strategic decisions about risk and reward. Sandwich Hollows operates as a year-round facility when weather permits, drawing a steady flow of Cape Cod golfers and summer visitors. The course has hosted regional amateur competitions and qualifiers over the decades, serving as a competitive venue for Massachusetts golf. Its location near historic Sandwich village and other Cape attractions makes it a practical option for golfers exploring the area, and its municipal status keeps it accessible compared to private clubs in the region.

Getting there
The journey to Sandwich Hollows Golf Club begins at Boston Logan International (BOS), roughly ninety minutes to the southeast, or alternatively at Providence (PVD) in Rhode Island, equally convenient at just over an hour's drive. The route traces the Massachusetts coast southward through the Cape Cod approach, where the landscape gradually shifts from suburban sprawl to the distinctive sandy terrain and pitch-pine scrubland that defines the Upper Cape. As you enter East Sandwich, the roads narrow and quiet, winding through the characteristic dunes and hollows that give the club its name - a final stretch of unhurried coastal New England that deposits you at one of the region's most understated and architecturally significant courses, where the land itself remains the primary architect.
