Overview
Old Sandwich Golf Club may be the craftiest Coore-Crenshaw design yet built. Amidst its pines, scrub oaks, gnarly bunkers, chocolate drop mounds, wavy fescue and briar bushes are hints of Baltusrol, National Golf Links, Pine Valley, Pinehurst #2 and Chicago Golf Club in its cross-bunkering, hazard placement and sandy waste areas. The greens are some of the most rolling of any Coore & Crenshaw design, seeded with a half-dozen bent varieties to give them an old-fashioned mottled appearance. Nobody does old-fashioned better than Coore & Crenshaw.

Review
“This is a true gem. A very fair course with receptive greens. Wonderful piece of land that was used to perfection by Coore/Crenshaw."

“Old Sandwich is a classic Coore Crenshaw balancing act for the player, choosing between aggressive risk-reward lines and conservative play. There are relatively large fairways with considerable undulations, deep bunkers right in your target line, and greens with significant slope and elevation changes, which run off sharply often resulting in challenging recovery. Note that many greens are rather large, but GIRs do not guarantee pars. Fantastic staff, clubhouse, restaurant and pro shop add to the experience."

“While it may not be old, it has a great old school feel to the design. Not too tricked out like many modern courses, a joy to play, top notch experience, and a design that brings you back for more every time you play it."

“Good Coore & Crenshaw designed golf course. Wonderful setting and property. A round at Old Sandwich feels like getting lost in the woods while playing a nice golf course. Certainly not the best in Massachusetts, but a fun round and place to play."

“Quintessential Coore & Crenshaw design with rustic bunkering, firm and fast conditions and rolling greens. The driving areas are relatively wide, but wayward drives are penalized heavily - don't expect to find your ball in the wooded areas adjacent to holes."

“Likely the best courses built in New England in 50 years. Gorgeous glacially-tilled property plays different and fantastic in each season. Pure golf at its best."

“All around solid golf course start to finish. 5, 7, and 12 are standout holes...not many "wow" holes but no weak holes either. 7 is undeniably the signature hole with a downhill approach to a green surrounded almost 360 degrees by sand and a huge rock formation to the left accenting the green. Intricate and artful bunkering throughout w/ shaved fescue edging. Several greens are crowned w/ sharp fescue edging which flows well w/ the sharp edging of the bunkers. Layout variety suffers a bit w/ the majority of holes playing downhill as well as 2x as many par 4's & par 5's that work left compared to the few holes that work right. A very long and difficult walk. Fun dormie hole coming in, a medium to long downhill par 3."

“Very, very good Coore & Crenshaw designed golf course. Wonderful setting and property. A round at Old Sandwich feels like getting lost in the woods while playing spectacular golf. Not the best in Massachusetts, but certainly in the top 5."
