Brand new: The Cape Club in New Falmouth, Massachusetts is nothing like its predecessor
FALMOUTH, Mass. -- Nearly two years in the making, The Cape Club is a brand new golf course built over the old Ballymeade Country Club, which had run into hard times in recent years.
The new course, which can be stretched to around 7,200 yards, is an all-new design, spearheaded by Troon's Vice President of Golf Course Development Ron Despain, together with Troon's development department and the course's new ownership group.
In addition to the new golf course, a state-of-the-art driving range and practice facilities were also added, the clubhouse was extensively renovated and there's a new restaurant. And while Ballymeade was private, The Cape Club is strictly daily fee, offering the "country club for a day" experience to locals and visitors alike.
The new course features bentgrass fairways and greens, Augusta-like white sand bunkers, new irrigation and drainage and a new state of art golf cart fleet with GPS yardage, food-and-beverage ordering capabilities, USB charging ports, and bucket seats. Cart paths were created using white crushed stone to match the look of the bunkers.
Near future plans also call for calls for 28 single-family homes and 80 golf villas and cottages. Resort shuttle services will take overnight guests to area beaches located just three miles from the Cape Club Resort. Additional future amenities call for a resort pool with bar-and-food service overlooking the golf course, an open-air event pavilion overlooking holes nine and 18, as well as a luxurious spa with fitness center and an indoor pool. The residential, cottage, spa and pool elements of the resort are currently in the permitting and planning stages.
The Cape Club is located five miles from the Bourne Bridge, the gateway to the Cape, about 45 minutes from Boston, Mass.
