The Brookside Golf Club sits in Bourne, Massachusetts, on the western edge of Cape Cod near the approach to the Cape Cod Canal. Designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Massachusetts, with moderate elevation changes and natural wooded corridors framing many holes. Hurdzan, known for his background in turfgrass science and environmental design, created a layout that works with the property's native landscape rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, resulting in a course that feels integrated into its Cape Cod setting. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with several doglegs that reward strategic positioning off the tee. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, and the green complexes feature subtle contours that require careful approach work. The course serves both daily-fee and member play, making it accessible to a broad range of golfers while maintaining conditioning standards typical of well-regarded public facilities in the region. Its location near the canal and within reasonable distance of Boston and Providence has made it a steady option for golfers visiting or living on the Cape. The Brookside represents Hurdzan's approach to creating playable, environmentally conscious golf courses that suit their regional context. The design emphasizes variety in hole length and shot requirements without relying on excessive length or penal hazards, offering a straightforward test of golf in a New England landscape.
