This charming course appears to rollick over some nifty rolling terrain. As a bonus, it has some stellar green sites. Has anyone played here..... holes of interest ?   thanks !!







ps.      lovely  photos at www.plymacc.com

Picked up my first ever hole-in-one on the 140 yard 8th hole.
Playing with my dad in '88 or '89, right after I began playing.  Two level green, pin in perfect ace position, right at bottom of the slope.  Hit a nine iron just on top and it spun back down the hill and into the cup.
God, it still feels good just to type it.
So, I'll always remember Plymouth Golf Club on the Cape.  Pretty good layout, fun to play.

They have played a tournament called the Hornblower there for many years and the course has held its own fairly well.

At par 69 it offers a very good array of fours and threes. The seventeenth a par four that bends left and plays over a chasm on the second shot to a devilish green is among the best. They have been rather assiduous in getting the course hard and fast which makes this little Ross gem more difficult than it appears.

Plymouth CC is a real gem with plenty of wind and hard and fast conditions as previously stated. The course is perched on a high bluff looking out over Plymouth Bay and several lighthouses. The wind can really kick up in the afternoon.

Memorable holes include #11 a lengthy Ross par 4 and # 12-a long par 4 with a very elevated tee. The finishing holes are very strong.The course has plenty of elevation change, quick greens and an unpretentious feel.

Although a Par 69, the course plays longer because of the topography. I believe the club is considered semi-private with limited outside play in the off season.

A par 69?

It can't be a serious course.

Can't they add a new tee somewheres and change a three to a four, or a four to a five, to give the course some respect?

If I tried to build a par 68 or 69 today, I would be drawn and quartered....why does this little antique get a break?

Plymouth CC is a rather low key club, they have tweaked a few tees and bunkers, added some drainage and tightened up the agronomy over the last ten years.  From a playing guest perspective, perhaps that is all it needs. I think they are limited in tee expansion, but plenty of open land seems to border the course. When the prevailing Southwest blow kicks up and you are hitting a hi-tech 3 metal into a par 4 to a green that sheds golf shots, its a real handfull. Adding 800 yds to this layout would be too much.

 Plymouth,Ma has added many new courses in the last ten years, including designs by Rees Jones, Nicklaus Design and Coore/Crenshaw which are all challenging but Plymouth CC is still highly regarded.

On the same theme, 1 hour away from Plymouth,in Providence RI ,we have the Ross designed Wannamoisett CC, built on a rectangular 99 acre parcel, this course is also a par 69.

Both these tracks have high level amateur tournaments, the aforementioned Hornblower at Plymouth and the Northeast Am at Wannamoisett. Both course stand up well to strong amateur fields.

Ray....thanks for the input and don't worry about me being serious about par 69's and their strength or playability, as I am a strong proponent of lowering par on other courses to preserve just that.....and I was in kind of a weird mood yesterday .

I notice that you are relatively new here, and if anyone has not yet extended a welcome, then let me say welcome aboard!

Plymouth is a great golf course but it is not on "the Cape" :-)

...picky, picky.
It may not be on "the Cape" as you point out, but it wouldn't take too long to play your way across the bridge from there with and old Pinnacle and a three iron.
