Highland Links - North Truro, MA
And a very special golf course, one of the oldest in the country is right here in New England... One of Cape Cod’s oldest golf courses, and perhaps its most scenic, Highland Links in North Truro is one of America’s golf treasures, perched high along windswept bluffs overlooking the Atlantic next to the vintage Highland Light. Founded circa 1892-1898, Highland has seen more than a hundred years of golf. More significant than its age is Highland’s heritage; circumstances keep it a genuine link, as close to the Scottish tradition found anywhere in the eastern United States, with deep natural rough, Scotch broom, heath, and spectacular ocean views.
