Reviews of Bass River Golf Course (Golf)

Dave Bergeron

Great old Donald Ross course. A lot of different shots are required to navigate the course. Course is not long, but it's not easy! Small, undulating greens. Turf was im good shape on grrens, fairways, and tees. Good amount of elevation changes. Highly recommended!

I don't golf. But I love what we call the "Club." We enjoy the beverages that bartender Sandy pours us. She also makes wonderful lobster rolls. The cranberry checking salad is awesome too!

The course is laid out very well. There are some close fairways on the front. The rough is not well kept and has weeds and is overgrown in places. Makes play slow. Overall I like the place, but I think it's too expensive for the quality of the course

When venerable Scottish ⛳ designer Donald Ross transformed an uneven patch of ground overlooking Bass River in the late nineties (uh, 1890s), he made some really intriguing holes. And his signature small greens and gaping bunkers abound. Now in the 21st century, if he came back, I suspect he'd have very mixed impressions. The layout remains enticing. Even current "power game" enthusiasts will be tested - especially when the course's legendary breezes arise. So Ross' genius endures. But he might well quip, "Why so pricey, laddie?" And, "Is there no one to get the trash and improve the johns?" Otherwise, experience it - and savor the outside deck afterwards!

Did Ray Charles design this golf course? The layout of this course isn't the best. The tee boxes were all chewed up. The greens were pretty good, but the price to play this type of course was absurd ($95). Looks like a county course and should be around the $35 mark. There are many better courses in the area.

Nice 19th hole food. Can't believe the space isn't utilized for much more after 5pm or so. The rear deck and views could add so much more in revenue. Need more help

Brendan Sullivan

3 stars because I stink

Mike Toohill

Too many weird golf holes to give it a better rating. The course is in good shape but there are many better courses in the area.

Chris Cyr

Russ Hamilton

Great little course.

Located in Yarmouth and sitting on a knoll overlooking the Bass River bridge, Bass River Golf Course has been a local favorite for generations. The course was redesigned back in 1914 and features wide fairways and small greens and even a great local sledding hill in the winter. The Club House has a wonderful restaurant with scrumptious lobster rolls with indoor and outdoor seating to take in the saltwater air and wonderful views.

Jeff Spires

Beautiful course not far from Wellfleet and Chatham. Challenging without being frustrated. Will be back next summer!

Brad Bellville

Wonderful scenery and challenging holes.

Lisa Howard

We had such a pleasant round today. The pace was great- we were sent off as a twosome. The course is in good condition. Such great river views. Took us a while to find this place, but we're sold!

I have mixed feelings about this place. As a beginner, I didn't really know what to expect from a day on the field. Coming to Bass River was beautiful, they have properly groomed fields and the holes are interesting in their layout. Also it's cool that the carts have live tracking of where you are on the green, so that is nice! But here is the part that mattered to me, and is the reason why I ended up leaving at the 3rd hole. The staff were clear when we signed up about the rules of the course. We were asked to rent bags if we didn't have any, at 15 USD per person. We purchased the appropriate equipment, and off we went. We were a group with 3 beginners, 2 intermediates and 4 decent players. We let every other person ahead of us when ever we would hold up at a hole for too long, and we tried to be quiet and respectful during their game. Instead of properly assessing I the situation, the staff assumed that we were trying to group up and would come over to "reexplain" the rules of the course and how we were supposed to continuously play and move forward. It just made the whole experience very unpleasant, having only golfed once before. I felt pressure to perform, and ostracised for my lack of experience. In the end they put so much pressure on us that we all just tried to spread out across the holes as far as we could, to try an prove that we were just trying to play and not hang around. My friends were forced to move on with each of their successful hits, and so slowly they stopped teaching me the proper techniques and advice I desperately needed. This was not what I payed 68 USD for. I wanted to have a fun, enjoyable day in the sun, playing golf with my friends and partner. Instead I left at the 3rd hole out of embarrassment, since after every so many short, off axis shots, I was forced to give up and just walk on forward. What I'm trying to say is that this place definitely discriminates their user base to perfection. If you're good, you'd enjoy coming here. If not, I really recommend going somewhere else, or really, really, try to conform to the stereotypical golfer style and behavior. Otherwise you'll hate it.
