Looks like a nice schedule of courses.
I understand that Bass River has Donald Ross roots but I was not overly impressed with it, although it was probably 18 years or so when I was last there. I think that the Hyannis Course may actually be a better course, although there are some picturesque holes at Bass River. Has a Historic Renovation been done on Bass River?
Captains and Cranberry Valley are solid courses that I have played a ton of golf on since we had family homes in Wellfleet within 25/40 minutes away. Remember that Cornish and Silva designed most of the courses in New England, and many on the Cape, with similar terrain there are definitely similarities among all of them. I don’t really like Dennis Pines that much, but there are some hard holes. Dennis Highlands is almost more fun, my son broke 100 there for the first time shooting 93.
The rolling sandy terrain with tons of pines can remind one of Pinehurst. The wind can blow at any time. Late Sept or early Oct is really the best time to play although I have had great rounds as late as Thanksgiving weekend. Access to private clubs in the fall gets a little easier as well.
Speaking of wind, I have posted comments about Highland Links several times and it is a true links experience, somewhat raw and really exposed to the elements. This is the only course that I have played with wind strong enough to blow the pins out of the cup! It is my wife’s favorite and the views are excellent on a clear day. Here is a link to a few comments:

Hyannis port is also worth playing if you can get on, there are a few fun quirky features there, especially over the marshes.
Wish I was going, I miss the Cape so much !
