Course Description Hyannisport Club is a private 18-hole Donald Ross designed seaside links overlooking Nantucket Sound located in the village of Hyannis Port on Cape Cod. Rich in American Golf History, Hyannisport Club was established in 1897 as a 6-hole golfing ground laid out by summer resident John Reid, a founding father of the USGA. In 1902, Alex Findlay, the "Father of American Golf' was hired to improve and expand the property to a 9- hole golf course. After acquiring additional land in 1913, the club hired noted golf professional and architect Donald Ross to expand/reconfigure Hyannisport Club to an 18-hole golf course. With the purchase of an additional 40 acres in 1930, Ross would once again redesign existing holes and add new golf holes as we know it today.
Working with Golf Course Architect Ron Forse, Hyannisport Club continues to implement course improvements based on the original Donald Ross hole by hole blueprints. Hyannisport Club is recognized as a Certified Audubon Sanctuary Golf Course and is consistently ranked as one of the top golf courses in Massachusetts.
