Golf in Nantucket

Nantucket is an island county in the Atlantic, 30 miles south of the Cape Cod mainland, where the combination of the whaling-era buildings, the conservation land, and the sustained affluence of the seasonal and year-round population have created one of the most deliberately preserved communities in New England. Three courses serve the island — Miacomet Golf Club, Nantucket Golf Club, and Siasconset Golf Course — in terrain where the island's glacially formed moors, the scrubby heath, and the Atlantic exposure on all sides give golf a setting unlike any other in Massachusetts. Golf in Nantucket serves both the island's substantial year-round community and the intense summer population.
