Sankaty Head Golf Club
About the club
Some of America’s greatest golf courses were designed by first-time novices and non-architects: Merion, Oakmont, Pine Valley and Pebble Beach all fall into this category. Sankaty Head on the eastern edge of Nantucket Island does, too. It was built by a local amateur player named Emerson Armstrong, but judging by the circuitous routing and attractive bunkering (honed in recent years by Jim Urbina) that recalls some of Donald Ross’ best work, you’d be excused for assuming Armstrong had done this dozens of times. The roomy holes unfurl across open fields of fescue, riding the site’s swales and ridges like an English links. True to the inspiration, the greens are open in front to receive running shots played under the exacting Atlantic winds, and the collection of par-3s is about as tough and beautiful as it gets.

Set up to block public access from the road to the lighthouse. Extremely unhelpful on site. Wish there were an option for negative stars.

Very pretty views. Easy to get to and interesting history

I recently had an unfortunate experience with Sankaty Head Golf Club. As a cab driver on Nantucket, MA, I went to the club for a scheduled pickup, only to find that the member was a no-show. I had driven 20 minutes or so from downtown Nantucket for this pickup. Upon arrival, a staff member asked me to move my car, despite the fact that I was there to provide a service to one of their members. Feeling upset by the inconvenience and lack of consideration, I called the club to discuss the matter. Although I regret raising my voice initially, I quickly calmed down and explained my situation, nothing that other establishments, like the Hotel Wauwinet, typically cover fares for no-show guests. The staff member said she would get back to me. Later, I received a call from the GM, Lori, who informed me that my behavior was inappropriate. Despite spending 45 minutes without business due to their member's no-show, I was made to feel like I was at fault. This experience was disappointing and reflects poorly on the club's customer service and consideration for service providers. I hope that Sankaty Head Golf Club will reevaluate their policies and approach to ensure better treatment of those who serve their members.
