About this course

The Golf Club of Cape Cod, carved from the region’s sandy loam, delivers a unique inland links experience, a testament to the region's golfing diversity that is often only associated with ocean-adjacent courses. The course is nestled amongst the pitch pines of East Falmouth, Massachusetts. Architect Brian Silva's design, from the late 1980's, presents a tapestry of undulating fairways and strategically placed bunkers that require thoughtful course management rather than brute power. It's a thinking man’s course, where angles matter, and a well-placed fade can often unlock a scoring opportunity. Silva shaped this challenging course which is more about strategy than length; a notable feature is its demanding set of par-3s, each requiring precise distance control and an understanding of the prevailing wind, which often swirls unpredictably through the pines. The club’s routing is often described as “deceptive,” as many tee shots present a different picture than the approach that awaits. While not host to national championships, The Golf Club of Cape Cod is a fiercely proud bastion of the Cape Cod golf community. The club has a relatively small and intimate membership. The Golf Club of Cape Cod is known for being challenging and fun for players of all skill levels.

Getting there

The journey to The Golf Club of Cape Cod begins at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), roughly ninety minutes to the southeast, where the drive transitions from the urban sprawl of greater Boston into the quieter, salt-tinged landscape of Cape Cod proper. The route carries you across the Cape Cod Canal and down Route 6, a passage that shifts subtly from mainland highway to a more intimate, tree-lined corridor as you approach East Falmouth. For those arriving by private aircraft, Chatham Municipal Airport (CTS) sits just twenty minutes from the club and offers a more discreet alternative. The final miles unfold through the understated New England coastal vernacular - modest homes, cranberry bogs, and glimpses of the Atlantic - before arriving at The Golf Club of Cape Cod, where the salt air and the measured pace of the Cape signal your entry into one of the region's most deliberately secluded golf sanctuaries.
