Sacconessett

A glimpse behind the gates…

Sacconnesset is built for strategic thinkers. The routing flows naturally through Falmouth’s sandy terrain, using subtle elevation changes and native fescue to define each hole. The greens are as good as you’d expect—undulating but fair, rewarding creativity and precision. A Rees Jones design, the bunkering is masterfully placed, and the par 3s are absolute standouts.

This course is challenging but not punishing. Generous fairways make it playable for all skill levels, but the real test comes on and around the greens. You’ll need a solid short game and a feel for the course’s trademark runoffs. The variety of tee boxes ensures you can bite off as much as you want.

No ocean views, but you get classic Cape Cod golf scenery—pine-lined fairways, rolling dunes, and golden fescue framing each hole. The serenity is real. You feel like you’re in a golf sanctuary, which, in a way, you are.

Sacconnesset is a private club, and it carries that exclusive, laid-back elegance. The staff treats you like family, and the membership has a real passion for the game. It’s not stuffy, but it’s definitely a place where golf purists thrive.

Sacconnesset is a must-play for anyone who loves strategic golf and top-tier conditions. It’s a pure Cape golf experience—minus the ocean, but with everything else dialed in to perfection. If you get an invite, don’t think twice.

And if you do get to play, you’ve got to let us know if you hit the boat! (IYKYK)
