Review

“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!"
