WHITE CLIFFS COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Plymouth, MA, USA
Designed by Gary Player
White Cliffs Country Club sits along the southeastern Massachusetts coastline in Plymouth, designed by Gary Player and opened in the late 1980s. The course occupies elevated terrain overlooking Cape Cod Bay, with the property's namesake white clay cliffs providing dramatic backdrop along several holes. Player's routing takes advantage of the natural topography, moving through wooded corridors and open coastal meadows with frequent elevation changes that create strategic interest and varied shot requirements throughout the round.
The layout reflects Player's design philosophy from this period, emphasizing strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward precise approach play. Several holes play along or toward the water views, though the course is not a true links despite its coastal setting—the inland portions move through mature New England forest with a more parkland character. The combination of terrain movement and coastal exposure creates wind variability that can significantly alter playing conditions and club selection.
White Cliffs serves as a private club for the Plymouth area, situated in a region rich with American colonial history. The course has hosted various regional amateur competitions and remains a notable Player design in New England, where his work is less common than that of native architects. The property's natural features and Player's routing create a distinctive experience within the southeastern Massachusetts golf landscape, offering members a course that balances scenic coastal elements with strategic design challenges.
