It’s still March, so I’m thankful I’m playing down on the Cape, and I’m sure the Cape courses are appreciating my green fees. My one problem with Cape Golf is that they charge the tourists such high fees during the summer season that after the season is over that they still want to hit the worthy golfers with high fees for the rest of the year. This is why the golfing business is slipping. Yes, I am an accounting major. Bentley University taught me the business of supply & demand. Now for the golf course. Falmouth Country Club faced considerable tree damage with the March snowfall. My course pictures are pine trees down on practically every hole. The superintendent is doing the best he can with making the course playable. The greens were superb for this late winter. The course is relatively flat with only 3 water holes. Hole #3, 5, & 6. Hole#5 is the #1 handicap hole, and it is a par 5, 545 yards with wind usually in your face. I’ve only birdied this hole once my entire life. I’m hoping to do it again! Believe it or not, hole 5 is my favorite hole.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
