Did you know?

The original Highland House Golf Links was part of an ocean hotel and cottage resort operated for years by Isaac Small of Truro and his family. They promoted the layout as “2000 yards around; in attractiveness not equaled on the New England coast.” Legendary U.S. amateur golfer Francis Ouimet, played an exhibition round here after the original sand greens were converted to grass.
