Gang:
Still can't believe no one has mentioned Highland Links in Truro Mass - on the dunes looking down on Highland Beach, the nine hole course surrounds the Cape Cod Light. A true links course, somewhat rudimentary, it is a fun course often playing firm and fast, although they sometimes over water the greens. Tremendous views of the Atlantic, Provincetown Harbor, and Cape Cod Bay to Race Point at the tip of the Cape. Green fees a little expensive for what it is, especially in the summer.
Pictures and information can be found here:

By the mid 90s the dune had receded to the extent that there was only 128 feet left to the cliff. A relocation project lifted the lighthouse onto steel I beams and moved it 428 feet back from the ocean. A jack pushed the lighthouse on the Ivory soaped beams a tiny bit at a time and the tap, tap , tap could be heard all over the course. See:
http://capecodlight.org/I recently wrote a post here on the most weather exposed holes thread about playing the course during early October in sidewise rain, with the wind BLOWING the Pin out of the cup on the 5th green. Have never actually seen that before or since.
