I'm going to Cape Cod next month for a week of fun and golf! I am staying at the Wequassett Resort and playing at the Cape Cod National Club one day, but we're planning on playing more. I was wondering if any of you are familiar with the area, and could reccomend other courses worth playing that won't break the bank. It's a total of $180 at CCNC and that includes a REQUIRED forecaddy for a threesome! Thanks for any advice... Nate

I grew up on the Cape but left in the 80's. Over the years I have been back to visit family and play golf at a variety of courses. There are a lot of muni that you can choose from. As far as break the bank, that's a personal choice.

I would try:

Cranberry Valley
Dennis Pines
Bass River
Highlands
Blue Rock (a par 3 course)
I learned to play on It has a few double greens which allowed me to fantasy playing at St. Andrews.

There a alot more if you want to travel into Barnstable/Sandwich. Enjoy your trip!

Cheers,
Eric

A great Muni is Olde Barnstable. Not too expensive ($60), and the course is challenging and in excellent condition.

Another one is a really fun 18 hole par 3 called Twin Brooks in Hyannis ($30). A few years ago it was rated the top par 3 on the Cape by Golf Digest. I'm usually not a fan of Par 3 courses because they are usually just a bunch of a shorter holes, but this is actually a pretty challenging course with some longer holes (longest is 215 I think) and is well maintained.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
