SANKATY HEAD GOLF CLUB

The ocean winds off Nantucket Sound turn this windswept links into a masterclass in coastal golf strategy, where club selection changes by the hour and sometimes by the minute. Rolling fescue fairways and pot bunkers demand precision over power, while the dramatic clifftop holes along the bluffs offer some of New England's most spectacular—and intimidating—seaside golf. This is Scottish-style golf at its purest, where a well-struck 7-iron can travel 200 yards with a helping breeze or fall short at 120 into a headwind.
