A caddies take on Sankaty Head Golf course in 1946, Jun 15, 2006

reviewer: Ron Rudge from Millbury,MA & Port St Lucie, FL

In 1946 my parents sent myself and my two triplet brothers to Nantucket Island to caddy at the Sankety Head golf course from June until late August. We were with a group of young boys mostly from Massachusetts. We were with a group from the Worcester YMCA. We lived in tents which were set up along side the 2nd hole. We always caddied doubles. I never knew a thing about golf until I arrived at Sankaty Head. I was lucky enough to win the caddy tournament while being there. I have since had three holes in one which I give credit to my parents for sending my brothers and to Sankaty Head to caddy and learn the game of golf. Now at the age of 75 I still play four rounds of golf weekly each winter in Florida and once or twice a week in the summer here in Massachusetts. Hopefully I will return soon to the course which started me playing this great game of golf.

Special Place, Mar 15, 2006

reviewer: Long Time Member from NY

One of the best old time links courses out there, on one of the most beautiful locations. The course is always in good condition, and the guys in the pro shop are the best (caddies too). As for the Nicklaus impersonator on the site, don't believe his post. The club is low key and friendly. As for his assumptions, most of the members are not from New England, and certainly very few of the staff members.

Must Play, Dec 21, 2005

reviewer: Rich from Boston, USA

Sankaty is a amazing golf experience. From the windy conditions to the conditions of the course, throw in some of the remarkable views and the neat caddie program and it is a must play for any golfer regardless of skill or age. Having played a number of the finer courses in the area I would rate this at the top of the list.
