THE GOLF CLUB AT SOUTHPORT

Cape Cod's sandy soil produces the kind of firm, fast conditions that reward precision over power, and this Brian Silva design maximizes those natural advantages with strategic bunkering that punishes wayward shots while rewarding course management. The par-4 16th epitomizes the layout's philosophy—a dogleg left where the aggressive line over native scrub oak demands a perfect strike to set up a short iron to an elevated green guarded by deep pot bunkers. Silva's routing through the kettle pond landscape creates dramatic elevation changes rare for the Cape, making this one of Massachusetts' most underrated public tracks.
