About Sconset Golf Course

Sconset Golf Course is a beloved nine-hole gem tucked into the historic village of Siasconset on the eastern end of Nantucket Island. One of the oldest golf courses in the United States, it offers a charmingly old-world experience that feels entirely separate from modern resort golf. The short layout winds through classic Nantucket landscape — rose hedges, scrub oak, and wild grasses — with ocean breezes playing a constant and unpredictable role in every shot. Greens are small and firm, demanding precision rather than power. The course is beloved by island residents and returning visitors for its unhurried pace, historic atmosphere, and sheer joy of playing in one of New England's most iconic settings. There is no pretension here: just golf in its most relaxed, unplugged form. Getting to Sconset requires either a long bike ride from Nantucket Town or a ferry crossing with a car, which itself limits the crowds and preserves the quiet character of the experience.

History

Sconset Golf Course dates to the late 19th century, making it one of the earliest golf layouts established in New England. It was created to serve the summer colony that gathered in the Siasconset village, a retreat favored by artists, writers, and affluent Bostonians. The course has changed little over the decades, preserving its historical character as a testament to early American golf.

History-loving golfers and Nantucket visitors who want a low-key, authentic island round at one of America's oldest courses.
