1181.0. "Cape Cod Info" by NEMAIL::DOHERTYD () Tue Mar 12 1991 20:33

    A bunch of guys are planning to head for Cape Cod for a golf weekend
    around the end of April/begining of May.  Any suggestions for
    packages, places to stay, courses to play?  Any night life on the Cape
    at this time of year?

1181.1Places to play on the capeESCROW::ROSCOEThu Mar 14 1991 15:4933
Dennis Pines Golf Course , RT 134 in Dennis, tight and long from the blue tees.
It does get a lot of play could be a GREAT course with a little more work.
 385-8347
Dennis Highlands is another course in Dennis, don't know if it will be open
for the summer by the time you go down.  If it is, the greens can be VERY
difficult depending on the pin placement.  Play it from the blue tees.
Same phone number as for Dennis Pines.

Cranberry Valley, Harwich   I played it about 10 years ago.  I really enjoyed
it.  Long walks between tees. 432-6300

Captains Course, Brewster  Great course 896-5100

Blue Rock, Yarmouth  This a par 3 course.  It is a well kept course
always fun to play. 398-9295

.New Seabury, You have to stay at New Seabury in order to play I believe,
or know someone.  If I played all these other courses and didn't play
New Seabury I wouldn't feel as though I had missed out. 477-9110
  

Willowbend, Not sure of the town but the phone is 477-8888 Another note in
this conference recommends it.  I've heard though that after April 1st
it will no longer be open to the public.
I plan on giving it a try before April 1.

A place to stay that is more or less centrally located would probably
be the town of  Yarmouth.  All the courses can be reached in at most 
30 minutes.  On the RT 28 in yarmouth and Hyannis you can find lots
of places to eat and stay in for not a lot of money.

Tee times would probably be needed at these courses.
1181.2My Two Cents...ASABET::VARLEYFri Mar 15 1991 12:468
    Of all the places I've played, Dennis Pines is one of my very
    favorites. IMO, Cranberry Valley is overrated and a waste of time.
    Pleasant enough course, just not worth a trip or all the hype. Iyanough
    Hills is a better layout, and Round Hill is supposed to be pretty good.
    Sometimes in the off season you can get on Hyannisport, which is REAL
    good, or Plymouth, which is even better.

1181.3April in Falmouth..FDCV07::VOUTSELASFri Mar 15 1991 14:005
    For ANY night life, stay close to FALMOUTH.
    Play Cape Cod Country club, ( Mashpee)?, and stay at Green Harbour
    Motel.

1181.4CRANBERRY, THE BEST COURSE IN CAPE CODBPOV06::LONGOFri Mar 15 1991 18:4612
    REF:   .2
    
    Jack,
    
    I am very happy that you like Dennis Pine. I hope that more people
    like you stay away from CRANBERRY VALLEY so my chances of getting
    tee-off-time will improve.
    
    BTW, did any Cape course ever made the "top 50 best list" besides
    CRANBERRY?

    re: .2
    
    I agree with .4 that Cranberry is one of the best courses on Cape
    Cod. Always in great shape and the layout offers quite a challenge,
    especially the last two holes! Worth every penny.
    
    In my opinion, I think the Captains in Brewster is the one that's 
    hyped and overrated!

1181.6Forgot Bass River again!AKOCOA::BREENFri Mar 29 1991 16:557
    why does everyone alsways omit Jim Hallet's old course Bass River
    another Yarmouth course.
    
    Because of prevailing wind I always thought it a challenge (and a
    challenge to get a tee time)

    re: .6
    Maybe because it is a lousy layout ?
