Hyannisport

An Alex Findlay golf course that Donald Ross redesigned in 1936, the Hyannisport Club layout weaves around the tidal marshes of Nantucket Sound. Although the combined length of the fairways is a mere 6,443 yards, they’re hard to navigate when the wind gets up.

Founded in 1897, the club boasts some of the most scenic views on Cape Cod, with water visible from every hole. Hyannisport is located next to the Kennedy Compound and a number of its family members have been associated with the club down the years.

The better holes on the course all lie along the coastline – exemplified by the likes of the 410-yard 4th, a left angled dogleg, and the 202-yard 8th, where tee shots must carry a large expanse of marsh – with the three closing peninsula holes forming a formidable conclusion to the round.
