Cape Cod Golf Courses Near Boston: Where to Play and What It Costs

Carl's take

For a Cape golf trip, book the round before the room. Bridge traffic and the return journey deserve as much attention as the course list. Pick a base that keeps the second day's golf nearby.

Pick a base before adding a second round

Brewster, Harwich, Dennis and Yarmouth give you different clusters of town-course golf. Keep a second round near the first instead of spending the gap driving across the Cape. Bridge traffic belongs in the arrival plan; do not use a best-case drive time as your check-in time.

The Captains

September 8–October 12, 2026 morning fees before 1pm are $72 Monday–Thursday and $93 Friday–Sunday and Columbus Day. October 13–25 morning fees are $58 or $69; October 26–December 31 lists $50 before 1pm. Carts add $26 per rider.

Use The Captains’ official reservation link for Port or Starboard. Its current seasonal card has separate start-time bands; check the date and course before paying.

Cranberry Valley

The 2026 card lists $90 Monday–Thursday May 26–August 27 and $90 Friday–Sunday and holidays May 8–October 12. October weekday fees are $50; October twilight begins after 2:30pm at $35. An 18-hole cart adds $26 per person.

Use Cranberry Valley’s official booking link and current tee-time allocation rules. Twilight timing changes with the season; the summer after-4pm offer is not the October window.

Dennis Pines

Both Dennis courses list $76 before 11am, $64 from 11am–2pm, $49 from 2–4pm and $35 after 4pm during May 8–September 7. September 8–October 12 weekday mornings are $60. Non-member carts add $25 per rider for 18.

Use the Town of Dennis booking link. For reservations eight or more days ahead, call the published advance line. The Pines lists a Thanksgiving closure; Highlands lists winter fees, subject to playing conditions.

Bayberry Hills

May 1–October 18, 2026 Bayberry Hills 18-hole fees before 2pm are $80 weekday or $95 weekend; Bass River is $65 or $75. Their later-day and nine-hole fees differ. An 18-hole cart adds $25 per rider.

Choose Bayberry Hills or Bass River on the Yarmouth booking site. The Links nine at Bayberry has its own fee; it is not half the championship-course green fee.

Autumn fees need the actual calendar date

The seasonal cards below do not all change on the same day. Cranberry Valley’s October weekday fee is $50 and its twilight window moves to 2:30pm. The Captains has separate October 13 and October 26 changes. Read the date band and cart charge before choosing.
