    This course routinely makes it onto top ten lists for the best public courses on Cape Cod for good reason. Super pretty course, super walkable, super friendly staff, always a pleasure.

    The dreaded tree in the 18th fairway!

    Played it 2 years in a row and never disappoints. Enjoyable layout for all types of golfers. Don't miss this green garden of Eden.

    Our group of sixteen players recently played Sandwich Hollows Golf Club, and while the course…read moreitself has some potential, the experience was marred by some of the rudest and most unprofessional staff behavior I've encountered at any golf facility. The parking lot was nearly empty when we arrived -- maybe 25 cars of which probably 10 were from the folks in our group -- and even when we finished, the number of cars had only about doubled. We rarely saw anyone in front of or behind us, even though we had four foursomes playing in an outing with consecutive tee times. In other words, the course was far from busy. The course layout is challenging -- very hilly, with several blind shots that naturally slow down the pace of play. Course conditions were acceptable overall, though a number of tee boxes were in terrible shape and clearly neglected. Still, we came to enjoy the day and make the best of it. So imagine our surprise when, at the turn, the starter decided to send a single player out directly in front of our group, forcing us to wait. That decision alone made little sense, but we were still patient and polite about it. That single player later realized he was in the middle of our foursomes who were having a golf outing and so he very cordially headed back to the clubhouse. And then, while we were still playing our final hole, someone from the Pro Shop actually came out to the course to make a sarcastic comment -- asking if we had "gotten lost" -- implying that we were playing too slowly. Again, there was hardly anyone on the course. The arrogance and lack of basic courtesy was jaw-dropping. Things went downhill fast after we finished our round. When we returned our golf cart, we parked it in the same general area as several others that had been returned before ours. Moments later, the person running the Pro Shop stormed outside and began loudly berating us because we hadn't parked the cart in the exact "designated" spot they apparently had in mind (which was just a few feet away from where we had parked it). There was no reason for this outburst from that Pro Shop employee. The confrontation escalated quickly into a shouting match, turning what had been a nice day into an uncomfortable and embarrassing scene. It's hard to understand how a public golf course can treat paying customers with such disrespect. We weren't loud, rude, or disruptive -- we were just trying to enjoy a casual outing on the golf course. Instead, we were made to feel very unwelcome by their staff. Until the management at Sandwich Hollows completely rethinks how they treat their guests, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. There are dozens of other courses on Cape Cod that understand how to run a golf facility and treat golfers with the respect they deserve. This one clearly does not.

    Two stars for the course. Got a 12:30 tee time..we were there at 12:00. Teed of at 1255. Waited on…read moreevery shot. We used every trick we could think of to speed up play for the groups behind d us( anything inside 3ft was good..one minute for a lost ball..we even joined up with a twosome at the 12th. Play was crawling. We finally got to the 18th tee and here comes a guy telling us to pickup our balls and get to the clubhouse NOW!..my son (who was preparingto hit) said huh? The man yelled and cursed at him then threatend our group. (" dont make me tell you again ") and drove off. So we played for 18 and played17. We went to complain and the pro shop was " locked". Course was ok..some greens a little beat on..interesting layout..too bad there are so many reviews like this one.

    I can guarantee that good percentage of people that read this may ask themselves, "Where is…read moreOsterville?" It is a quaint little village in Barnstable, MA with heaps of "old money" and traditional Cape Cod charm. Although I have lived my entire life in Massachusetts, I had never heard of, let alone stepped foot in Osterville until last weekend when I worked at a wedding at Oyster Harbors Club; a private, members only club. Let me preface this review by saying that it is based solely on my experience as an outside vendor working at the club - not as a member or guest. I work as an assistant for a boutique event planning and consultation firm, and we recently coordinated a wedding reception held at this venue. The club itself is beautiful - tall ceilings, crown molding, beautiful carpets and hardwood floors, a large ballroom, a fabulous patio with gorgeous lawns and water views... even the bathrooms were gorgeous! It was easy to see why the couple fell in love with this venue. The bride's family had a close friend who was a member and offered to sponsor the couple (non-members) so they could have their wedding there. It was apparent that the catering staff and management was not accustomed to working with outside coordinators, but overall, things went smoothly. Here's my biggest complaint about this venue: During a wedding, vendors (wedding coordinators, assistants, DJ's, band members, etc.) are offered dinner. Vendors typically work a 10-15 hour day for a wedding and don't have another opportunity to eat, so many of them actually require a meal in their contracts; it is considered standard practice in the industry. They are usually fed whatever meal the guests receive, or a suitable, albeit less expensive alternative consisting of a protein, vegetable and starch. The hosts of the wedding are charged for each vendor meal that is ordered. That being said, my colleagues and I sat down to have our meal during this wedding and were completely shocked when we were offered a lunch-sized portion chicken Caesar salad! We weren't even given bread or water to accompany the meal! Normally, I would not complain but since we coordinated the wedding, we were well aware of how much money the bride and groom paid for each vendor meal... and a chicken Caesar salad was simply unacceptable for the price they were charged. While I would not consider myself an "expert" in the food service industry, but I have worked for a number of higher end restaurants, yacht clubs and catering companies in Boston and Martha's Vineyard over the last 10 years. Never in my experience as an assistant or even as a server was I ever given salad to sustain me through a 12 hour workday. I sincerely hope that Oyster Harbors Club does not make this practice routine, and I urge those who plan to hold an event at this venue to request a detailed cost breakdown for the guest and vendor meals from management.

    Wequassett Resort and Golf Club - Inside of the ballroom

    Wequassett Resort and Golf Club

    Wequassett has been for many years among the best properties I go to in the US (or internationally…read morefor that matter). Every single time we visited, the service has been impeccable and I find it hard to think about any other resort that can get even close to Wequassett. The grounds are perfectly kept and the rooms have been recently renovated. And although, there's a trend even with classic high-end resorts (St. Regis, J.W., Ritz-Carlton) to make their renovations a little too modern for my taste, Wequassett successfully kept their old school charm. We always stay at their Signature Water View King rooms (and book well in advance as there's only a few of these) so I can't speak of other room types. The amenities are flawless and even though the main pool gets VERY crowded during summer weekends, the pool attendant always found 2 chairs for us. My only recommendation for this property is to have a backup plan for the main pool. Perhaps installing a deck and adding some more chairs there to accommodate more guests that prefer the beach vs. the pool.

    A solid 3.5 stars…read more The good: -Beautiful views of the water -The lounge area by the pool was so relaxing and comfortable! Sincerely the best of any resort we've stayed at -Genuinely friendly staff -The cleaning crew was phenomenal and didn't miss a spot The not-so-good: -Paper thin walls. We were woken up multiple nights because the upstairs guests were walking around. Yes, plain footsteps - not even stomping - were very audible. For close to 1k a night, this shouldnt have happened. My cheap grad school duplex apartment didn't even have walls this thin! -Friction prevented us from giving the resort more money. There's room service but no menu in the room and it wasn't easily found online either. And we were so ready to drop a good amount of money on poolside drinks and food but nobody waited on us both times we were at the pool. (They did happen to wait on the social media star who was present, which was very obvious, and we made eye contact with another family who shrugged because they hadn't been waited on either.) And finally the coffee shop closed at noon. We would have happily patronized the shop for a treat and a coffee and were disappointed to find it closed so early. -Our perception was that there was nothing going on at the Wequassett. We stayed in June (and received the May newsletter; perhaps that would've given us more info if we had the correct one?) We had expected the poolside bar to be open. Maybe some live music. Smores for the kids by the fire (we would've purchased this.) So many opportunities for improvement! We stayed at the cliff house in Maine last year and there was a number displayed around the resort that you could text and they'd send a message with info about was going on at the hotel that week! Such a memorable touch - Wequasset could consider something like this. All in all, not awful, but not blow-your-socks-off fantastic, either. Just plain average in the realm of resorts.
