The Golf Club of Cape Cod Course Review

The Golf Club of Cape Cods course makes for an interesting combo between a contemporary vision in terms of golf-design and also a traditionalist point of view, wearing the signature of the famous architect Rees Jones. Jones started his work as a golf architect back in 1964 and he designed/re-designed over one hundred courses during his long and prolific career, many of them in preparation for the US Open Championships, thus gaining the moniker The US Open Doctor. The golf course at Cape Cod is built upon a stunning piece of real estate, on the rolling coastal terrain of Cape Cod, which is the ideal location for creating a classic course which borrows from the beauty of the land, making for a unique golfing experience. Rees Jones worked together with the TGC team when designing the Cape Cod and he delivered a true gem of a golf course which is capable of challenging players of every caliber due to its various shot options that are a consequence of its stellar design.

Despite being a newcomer, the Cape Cod course already established new standards, especially for new visitors, as it provides the purest golfing experience possible together with a beautiful view due to its natural setting and the epic scenery which attracts players from all over the US, New England included. Even if the Cape Cod is relatively recent, being opened for players in 2007, the 7047 yard golf course looks like it has been there forever. There are a lot of elevation changes featuring sandy soil, the site is absolutely wonderful and the routing is one of Rees Jones best-ever. The course boasts both demanding holes, like the 464 yard sixth, which will require 2 great shots for a birdie chance and there are heroic holes, the likes of the 190 yard sixteenth, which all carry over water hazards. All these features put together make for a true-blue classic woodland golf course, based on timeless golf-design principles, which is a joy to play regardless of your skill level.
