Cape Ann Golf Course

Essex is the salt-marsh town at the head of Essex Bay on the North Shore, positioned between Gloucester and Ipswich where the tidal landscape defines everything. Cape Ann Golf Course runs nine holes here, at a genuinely edge-of-the-sea location where the North Shore's fishing heritage and the land's open, marsh-adjacent character set the tone. The flat, exposed feel of tidal-edge terrain makes this one of the more atmospheric layouts on the coast.
