The Cape opened in 1988 as a daily-fee facility in North Falmouth, designed by Jim Fazio with input from touring professional Chi Chi Rodriguez. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of Cape Cod's glacial landscape, with elevation changes that are notable for the region. The routing takes advantage of natural contours and incorporates wooded corridors of scrub oak and pine typical of the area's coastal ecology. The layout measures over 6,800 yards from the back tees and features a traditional par-72 design with a mix of long and short par fours, reachable and strategic par fives, and one-shot holes that vary in length and demand. Water comes into play on several holes, and the bunkering reflects Fazio's design approach from that era, with sand positioned to challenge both tee shots and approaches. The greens offer moderate undulation and require careful reading. The Cape serves both visitors and local golfers in the Falmouth area, providing access to regulation golf on the Upper Cape where public options are limited. The course operates within the broader Cape Cod golf market, which attracts seasonal play from tourists and summer residents. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with dining services typical of daily-fee operations in New England resort communities.
