What Sets Golfweek’s Rankings Apart
The magic behind Golfweek’s rankings lies in their meticulous evaluation process. Over 800 raters test and assess golf courses across ten different criteria, scoring them on a 10-point scale. And here’s an interesting tidbit: there are no perfect 10s on the list! Only eight courses worldwide achieved an average rating above 9, meaning they’ve truly set the bar high. A rating above 8 indicates a superb golf experience, while anything over 7 is worth booking that ticket for a golf getaway.
Cape Cod National Golf Club earned an average rating of 6.59, making it the highest-rated golf course in New England. It may not have cracked the top 50, but it’s certainly holding its own.
Course Layout and Design
Set as a Par 72 championship layout, the course features a challenging and picturesque 6,900 yards from the back tees, while those looking for a friendlier game can tackle it from the forward tees at just 5,800 yards. Designed by the talented Brian Silva, Cape Cod National Golf Club has seen its fair share of action, hosting multiple USGA and Massachusetts Golf Association events since the 2010s. Talk about a course with pedigree!

In the latest Cape Cod National Golf Club High School Invitational, Xaverian took home victory with an impressive team score of 231, finishing five strokes clear of runner-up St. John’s Prep at 236. Quinn Dumas led the winning team with a score of 76, while Concord-Carlisle’s Will Spring stood out by clinching the individual title with a solid even-par 72. Spring’s round was nothing short of spectacular, featuring four birdies and 11 pars, even with challenging windy conditions and heavy rain.
But it wasn’t easy sailing! The gloomy weather proved a tough opponent. Still, Spring displayed true skill and determination, rebounding from a double bogey to hang in there and secure his win with a par on the final hole. Quite the nail-biter!
