Travelers flock to Cape Cod, Massachusetts each year to enjoy world-class seafood, amazing coastal views, and a destination rich in history. It’s also a place that beckons to those adventurers who simply can’t wait to get out on the pristine greens. If your idea of the perfect escape from the hustle of life always includes a tee time or two on the itinerary, the following are the top five golf courses on Cape Cod that you’re going to want to make sure you play the next time you head this way!

1. Hone Your Short and Long Game Skills at the Cranberry Valley Golf Course

A top-rated public course you’re going to want to be sure to check out in Harwich the next time you’re here is the Cranberry Valley Golf Course. This fantastic 18-hole championship course was designed by Geoffrey Cornish and Bill Robinson to be a place where golfers could enjoy scenic beauty and a fun challenge, too. When you arrive, you’ll be treated to a par-72 course layout that spans 6,482 yards from the blue tees.

This golf course gets its name from the cranberry bogs it’s surrounded by, which pair particularly well with the forested terrain. Combined, these natural features offer golfers a sense of tranquility on the greens at Cranberry Valley that’s truly hard to top and makes each game extra memorable. Those who play a round in good company at the Cranberry Valley Golf Course often praise its smooth greens, wide fairways, and well-maintained grounds year-round. It’s a place with something for golfers of all skill levels, where you can also access a putting green, chipping areas, and a quality driving range.

5. Check Out Two Championship Courses at The Captains Golf Course

When you make your way over to 1000 Freemans Way in Brewster, you’ll find you can enjoy time on not one, but two championship golf courses that make up The Captains Golf Course experience.
