The Golf Coast
Cape Cod is home to many beautiful championship golf courses. Spend a day out on the links! Below are a few recommended public golf courses nearby.

- Harwich
18-Hole Championship Golf Course owned and operated by the Town of Harwich. A Cornish and Robinson gem offering a wide variety of well-designed holes to challenge players of every ability.
- Truro
Founded in 1892, Highland Links Golf Course has celebrated over a century of golf. More significant than its age is Highland’s heritage. Deep natural rough, Scotch broom, heath, non-irrigated open fairways, and spectacular ocean views keep the course a genuine links, as close to the Scottish tradition found anywhere in the eastern United States.
Dennis Pines - Dennis
A par 72, seven thousand-yard championship golf course. It is situated on 170 acres of pine forest land in the Village of East Dennis.
Designed by Henry C. Mitchell and opened for play in 1966, Dennis Pines has long been noted as one of the toughest layouts on Cape Cod. Tree-lined corridors place a great premium on accuracy rather than distance. Water comes into play on four holes, and the twelfth hole is recognized as one of the most difficult par fives anywhere.
Dennis Highlands - Dennis
A par 71, sixty-five hundred-yard championship golf course. It is situated on 175 acres of pine and oak-covered rolling ground on the north side of Dennis, in the village of Dennis. Designed by Jack Kidwell and Mike Hurdzan and opened for play in 1984. Dennis Highlands may be the “Crown Jewel” in the traditional list of fine Cape Cod golf courses. It is a course marked by an impressive entranceway among wildflowers and trees, leading to a beautiful clubhouse. It boasts one of the most spectacular practice ranges in golf and culminates in eighteen of the most visual and enjoyable golf holes in sequence anywhere.
