In great shape for a muni — or any course, for that matter
Lots of trees, but at a fair margin from the tee boxes
The par 5 8^th hole is spectacularly strategic
Major swales in the land pose unseen obstacles
Pace of play can be an issue
Plays firm

The Captain’s has returned to former glory — as course is in phenomenal shape, even with heavy play. Rangers are polite but firm, and are committed to healthy pace of play without being jerks. Starters and pro shop staff are friendly and great. Greens and fairways are beautiful this summer. Grill room AC was broken — and they were short staffed, but food was very good. A little expensive for a weekday round with cart, but worth it. Great place for a vacation round of golf — highly recommend.

I played the Port course yesterday for the first time in five years. The quality of the course has only improved since 2009. It would be hard to distinguish the quality of this course from a private course (hard to believe this is a muni). Tee boxes are in perfect conditions, the greens are in top flight shape (even better if folks would fix their ball marks) and the rough is lush (hint stay out of it). You can walk the course but it is hilly. I found all the holes interesting but my favorite was the short 15^th. You need to draw the ball (slice it and you are dead) into the fairway. That will leave you with a short 115 yard shot into a green guarded by bunkers on the left and a pond on the right. Super hole. Overall at $ 74.00 for greens fees and a push cart this is a deal.

It’s a well maintained course, with beautiful landscapes

This course is great! I have a house in harwitch port and play a lot! The starboard side I would say is the best of the 2 but both are great! Great condition a little pricey but worth it! A good challenge and your drives have to be pretty where u want it but if you do end up off fairway get used to taking your medicine! Cause all you will have is a chip to the fairway nothing else! Worth going it’s my favorite course of all time!!!
