Golf in Gloucester

Gloucester is a fishing city on Cape Ann in Essex County, where the Atlantic harbor and the granite coast define a community that has been a working fishing port for four centuries. Bass Rocks Golf Club serves this city in the rocky coastal terrain of Cape Ann's eastern shore, where the granite ledge and the ocean proximity give the course a setting unlike any other in the state. Gloucester's identity as a working fishing community distinguishes it from the resort and residential character of the North Shore towns to its south, and golf here serves a broad urban population in a city where the sea, the art community, and the fishing heritage each compete for cultural primacy.
