Massachusetts is a special place when it comes to Donald Ross golf courses. There are dozens of great Ross courses in the state and many are amongst his best works.

And Hyannisport may just be the best of them.

Set right on Nantucket Sound, Hyannisport uses the backdrop wonderfully. The course not only plays directly on the tidal marshes at the beginning and end of the routing, but also keeps the views coming in and out all day so you are always taking in the beauty.

The turf needs to be talked about. Literally some of the best playing surfaces I’ve been blessed to play on all year. The fairways have that perfect firm bounce. The primary rough is a punishment, but playable. The fescue absolutely stunning, but thin enough that a ball can be found. Some of the nicest sand to hit out of anywhere. And the greens…absolutely pristine. Running fast and bouncy, they are perfection.

The holes on the sound are of course the show stoppers, the marsh interacts with the water very naturally, nothing is forced. An interesting quirk is that depending on the tide and water levels, a ball in the marsh may be just fine or may be underwater.

The par 5 16th hole is as good as it gets. Routed by Findlay, when Ross took over he called the hole perfect and said it should never be changed. It’s a huge dogleg right with a giant hill in the middle and a truly heroic opportunity to cut the dogleg to go for the green in 2. It’s one of the coolest and most unique golf holes in the country.

Hyannisport is a truly historic club. With the Kennedy compound right next door, the historic figures who have graced this links can only be imagined. The clubhouse is amazing and its views are hard to top. The staff is wonderful and the food is excellent. Everything is done well here.

What a great day with truly great people.
