(VIENNA, VA) – Falmouth Country Club has extended its partnership with Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – the largest owner-operator of golf courses, country clubs and resorts in the U.S. – to manage its widely popular, 27-hole, public-access golf course in East Falmouth, MA.
Under BCG management since 2005, membership programs and practice facility revenue at Falmouth grew by more than 40 percent. Advanced maintenance practices have led to immaculate course conditions and a bevy of prestigious awards, including “2014 Best Course on the Upper Cape” by Cape Cod Life Magazine and two-time “Golden Sprinkler Award” winner by GolfCapeCod.com.
BCG’s innovative management at Falmouth over the past 10 years includes original programming like the pioneering “Kids Play Free” that annually facilitates more than 1,000 free rounds of golf for children 18 and under. The course will also continue to host summer camps for the Recreation Department of Falmouth and nearby high schools.
“We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Billy Casper Golf,” says Julian Suso, Town Manager of Falmouth. “The results speak for themselves as golfers continue to choose Falmouth Country Club as their choice for family golf on beautiful Cape Cod.”
Plans are to complete renovations to green complexes and bunkers on the enjoyable, nine-hole Talon Course.
“Our driven professionals are excited about the present and future of Falmouth Country Club,” says Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. “Billy Casper Golf’s relationship with the Town is extraordinary and it’s gratifying the club has become a ‘must play’ for locals and visitors.”
Falmouth is the only public course on Cape Cod recognized by Audubon International as a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The course earned its designation in 2009 and continues its high standards in protecting the environment by reducing waste and promoting efficient operations.
“Falmouth Country Club is essential to the health and vitality of our community,” says Mary Pat Flynn, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Falmouth. “Course conditions, personable service and exciting events make the club popular among families spending time together and creating lasting memories.”
About Falmouth Country Club
In Massachusetts’ Cape Cod region, the public-access Falmouth Country Club presents 27 holes of challenging golf.
The 18-hole “Championship Course” opened in 1965 and was designed by Louis Rabesa. A shot-makers paradise emphasizing accuracy and strategy, the par-72, 6,665-yard layout features gentle mounding, tree-lined fairways, undulated greens and swaths of beach grass. Its signature 516-yard, par-5 10th hole is home to one of the largest Osprey nests in the region.
The nine-hole Talon Course, at a par 37 and 3,455 yards, presents an enjoyable mix of long and short holes for fun and fair challenges for all skill levels. Golfers relish the narrow 555-yard, par-5 seventh hole that tests strength and accuracy, as well as the 155-yard, par-3 second hole that requires a deft touch and distance control.
Popular among locals and visitors looking to sharpen their games, Falmouth’s practice facility features a renovated driving range with 20 hitting stations, putting green and chipping green with a bunker.
The comfortable clubhouse includes a fully-stocked golf shop with brand-name apparel and equipment, and a snack bar that seats 60 people.
