Great piece of land and interesting design. Tons of different looks because of the elevation changes and routing.

As classic of a Cape Cod golf experience as there is, always very well maintained from tee to green. Not the longest track but requires accuracy and some creativity around the greens with a majority being two tiered.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Brewster, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
