Cape Cod has more than 40 courses and as many as 30 are accessible to the public — everything from a historic Scottish links to a pair of championship Brian Silva-designed courses.
“It’s a place where golf is as unpretentious as the residents in their well worn boat shoes and sun-faded shorts,” says Golf Advisor.
So grab the clubs and check out our picks for the Top 5 Public Courses on the Cape.
The Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds, Marstons Mills
Voted by golfers around New England as a "Top 25 Public Place to Play" for the last three years in a row, the course was formerly the home of the Barnstable County Fair. Golf Digest called the fairgrounds “a lot of fun.” and Golf Adviser said the course “remains true to the philosophy of the late Geoffrey Cornish, who believed a golfer should feel better after playing regardless of his or her score.” Go to barnstablegolf.com for rates and tee times.
