Cape Ann Golf Club is Cape Ann's only public golf course, owned and operated by the Stavros family and overseen as part of a private land protection agreement with the Trustees of Reservations. The club is located on a gorgeous salt marsh site along the picturesque Essex Coastal Scenic Byway and has been in operation since 1931. Its course takes advantage of the region's natural coastal beauty, showcasing nine holes set on water overlooking the Essex River. Notable golfers at the course throughout the years include renowned author John Updike, who considered the course a favorite golfing spot and mentioned the course in several stories. After hitting the links, golfers can enjoy delicious pub-style fare at the club's Fairway Pub and restaurant, which showcases dishes from executive chef Norrie Stavros.
