The Hyannisport Club is a private club with an 18 hole golf course, located at 2 Irving Avenue (at Scudder Avenue) in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. The club was founded in 1897 and the golf course was finalized in 1903. The course is an original Donald Ross design which plays 6,257 yards from the blue tee markers. While the course is short in terms of yardage, it is often called "the toughest 6200 yards in golf" because of the famous Hyannisport wind which usually blows directly off of Nantucket Sound. The club boasts some of the most scenic views on Cape Cod and is known for having water visible on every hole although coincidentally, there are no water hazards on the course. The course is located adjacent to the Kennedy Compound and the Kennedy family have long been members of the club. According to golflink.com, "The 18-hole "Hyannisport" course ... features 6,257 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71 . The course rating is 70.0 and it has a slope rating of 121 on Bent grass. Designed by Donald J. Ross, ASGCA, the Hyannisport golf course opened in 1897. Scott Smith manages the course as the General Manager."[1] The Club hosts "The Seagulls" golf tournament in late March or early April each year. The tournament is open to all Cape Cod residents and has been played in all types of weather from freezing rain and snow to 90 degree heat. The Hyannisport Club is also known for its prestigious Caddy program, which operates each summer from July 1 to August 31. Notable Members
