Golf in Wellfleet

Wellfleet is a Barnstable County outer Cape town on the outer Cape's Atlantic side, an artist colony and natural oyster bed community where the combination of the National Seashore, the tidal flats of Wellfleet Harbor, and the kettle ponds give the town an exceptionally preserved character. Chequessett Yacht and Country Club serves this community in the moderate terrain above Wellfleet Harbor, in a town whose deliberate low-density character and the Seashore's surrounding federal land give golf a compressed, year-round-community setting. One small course serves an outer Cape community that has prioritized conservation and community character over development, in a town where the natural setting rather than recreational infrastructure defines the identity.
