BAY CLUB AT MATTAPOISETT

The South Coast Massachusetts wind howls across this Geoffrey Cornish design, where elevated tees reveal sweeping views of Buzzards Bay that can either inspire or intimidate depending on your confidence with the driver. Salt-tolerant fescue and strategic bunkering demand precise iron play, particularly on the signature par-3 16th that plays directly toward the water with nothing but marsh grass to catch anything short or right. This is seaside golf at its most honest—no frills, just pure shot-making challenged by coastal elements that separate weekend warriors from serious players.
