Golf Group Outing: Find Out Why Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club Is the Best Spot

By: Jordan Fuller

When you’re deciding where to go for your annual golf trip with your buddies, a lot is riding on your choice. You can go for a popular destination with a glut of courses like Myrtle Beach, or you can get a little more creative with your thinking. 

You’ll want a course that you can play several times without getting bored, and a venue that offers more than just golf. There are 24 hours in a day, after all, and sadly we can’t spend all of them on the golf course.

Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club on Cape Cod offers much more than the typical hotel pool, crowded beach and chain restaurants you’ll find at many golf destinations. The unique location and natural beauty in and around the resort make it a beautiful, memorable destination. Kodak moments and one-of-a-kind attractions abound as the Cape Cod experience demonstrates why it’s a world-class vacation destination. 

The main attraction for a golf group outing will always be the golf course, and Ocean Edge’s 18 hole track is truly a gem. Redesigned in 2007, Ocean Edge is the only Nicklaus Design on Cape Cod.  A private course that is only open to its Members and Resort Guests quickly earned a reputation as one of Cape Cod’s best golf course. It winds its way through the forested hillside and several ponds, but it’s the architecture and greens that really stand out. 

The signature 17th hole, an uphill, 600-yard par 5, is a monster that’ll be the key to winning your matches. A well-placed drive that avoids the cleverly placed fairway bunkers will set you up for a nice lay-up. But the approach shot to the green is no walk in the park, as a dastardly false front sits in wait to repel any shot that’s mis-hit or spins too much.

It’s a fantastic course in a beautiful setting, and the spacious, inventive greens increase its replay value. Memberships are at a premium here because of the course’s impeccable conditions and high replay value.

Ocean Edge offers a Stay & Play package where you will have the ability to play unlimited golf during your stay. You can stay at either The Mansion which is a Victorian-style building (perfect for history-lovers) or to The Villages, a collection of cozy villas, which is near the golf course where you can practice with your strike wedge.  You can book your package directly here.

Aside from golf, there are plenty of attractive options for swapping stories and setting up the next day’s bets. 

The Beach Bar is perched atop wooded dunes with a stunning ocean view. The Linx Tavern offers local favorites like New England Clam Chowder and lobster rolls, while the flagship Ocean Terrace is a perfect spot to down a dozen oysters and share small plates. 
 
As you’d expect from a place called Ocean Edge, the beaches are top-notch, and you can even set up a private beach fire for up to 8 people, complete with beach chairs, s’mores, and a private beach attendant.

You can get to know the local oyster industry and sample some of the freshest the sea has to offer on a signature Oyster Tour or enjoy kayaking and paddle-boarding in the calm pond waters or the more thrilling Bay Pines Beach.

With a majestic golf course, numerous unique off-course activities and a wealth of dining and cocktail options, Ocean Edge Resort should be on your list for your next golf group outing.  Please contact our Director of Golf Brett Gilmore for more information to book your next golf outing.
