Cape Ann Golf Club

Cape Ann Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the most scenic public golf courses on the North Shore, with 18 holes laid out alongside the Essex River and the Great Marsh.

The course is open to all, no membership required, and the views across the marsh and out toward Crane Beach make it worth the round whatever your handicap.

The Fairway Pub, located in the clubhouse, is open to golfers and non-golfers alike and serves a menu of homemade Essex-style fare, steamers, fried clams, chowder, and sandwiches, with a full bar and outdoor deck seating overlooking the first tee.

Tee times can be booked online at capeanngolf.com.
