Review
“Oyster Harbors Club was carved from dense woods on Osterville Grand Island, creating a unique tree-lined sandy layout close to the Cape Cod seashore. To combat the benign terrain of the property, Donald Ross built incredibly complex, undulating greens. A recent Gil Hanse restoration has recaptured lost hole locations and playing angles with added green area and fairway width."

“Built in 1926 by Donald Ross + team with minor renovations since. Gil Hanse to renovate bunkers this fall (2023). Domed greens, false fronts, steep falloff for errant approach shots, deep bunkers, lots of shot choices. Fantastic staff, clubhouse and pro shop. Note that you need to be invited by a member / resident just to gain access to Grand Island, off the southern coast of Cape Cod. Attached picture is of the 3rd hole - par 3. Yes, that is a monster bunker between the tee and green!"

“Great conditioning and some fun holes. Pretty flat and wide open but nice bunkering and green complexes spice it up."
