Unfortunately the Barnstable courses are now in the same condition as Sandwich Hollows and other cut rate Muni courses. Fortunately Captains, Cranberry, Yarmouth courses and Dennis courses are much better.

It is a quaint little village in Barnstable, MA with heaps of "old money" and traditional Cape Cod charm. Although I have lived my entire life in Massachusetts, I had never heard of, let alone stepped foot in Osterville until last weekend when I worked at a wedding at Oyster Harbors Club; a private, members only club. Let me preface this review by saying that it is based solely on my experience as an outside vendor working at the club - not as a member or guest. I work as an assistant for a boutique event planning and consultation firm, and we recently coordinated a wedding reception held at this venue. The club itself is beautiful - tall ceilings, crown molding, beautiful carpets and hardwood floors, a large ballroom, a fabulous patio with gorgeous lawns and water views... even the bathrooms were gorgeous! It was easy to see why the couple fell in love with this venue. The bride's family had a close friend who was a member and offered to sponsor the couple (non-members) so they could have their wedding there. It was apparent that the catering staff and management was not accustomed to working with outside coordinators, but overall, things went smoothly. Here's my biggest complaint about this venue: During a wedding, vendors (wedding coordinators, assistants, DJ's, band members, etc.) are offered dinner. Vendors typically work a 10-15 hour day for a wedding and don't have another opportunity to eat, so many of them actually require a meal in their contracts; it is considered standard practice in the industry. They are usually fed whatever meal the guests receive, or a suitable, albeit less expensive alternative consisting of a protein, vegetable and starch. The hosts of the wedding are charged for each vendor meal that is ordered. That being said, my colleagues and I sat down to have our meal during this wedding and were completely shocked when we were offered a lunch-sized portion chicken Caesar salad! We weren't even given bread or water to accompany the meal! Normally, I would not complain but since we coordinated the wedding, we were well aware of how much money the bride and groom paid for each vendor meal... and a chicken Caesar salad was simply unacceptable for the price they were charged. While I would not consider myself an "expert" in the food service industry, but I have worked for a number of higher end restaurants, yacht clubs and catering companies in Boston and Martha's Vineyard over the last 10 years. Never in my experience as an assistant or even as a server was I ever given salad to sustain me through a 12 hour workday. I sincerely hope that Oyster Harbors Club does not make this practice routine, and I urge those who plan to hold an event at this venue to request a detailed cost breakdown for the guest and vendor meals from management.

Our group of sixteen players recently played Sandwich Hollows Golf Club, and while the course…read moreitself has some potential, the experience was marred by some of the rudest and most unprofessional staff behavior I've encountered at any golf facility. The parking lot was nearly empty when we arrived -- maybe 25 cars of which probably 10 were from the folks in our group -- and even when we finished, the number of cars had only about doubled. We rarely saw anyone in front of or behind us, even though we had four foursomes playing in an outing with consecutive tee times. In other words, the course was far from busy. The course layout is challenging -- very hilly, with several blind shots that naturally slow down the pace of play. Course conditions were acceptable overall, though a number of tee boxes were in terrible shape and clearly neglected. Still, we came to enjoy the day and make the best of it. So imagine our surprise when, at the turn, the starter decided to send a single player out directly in front of our group, forcing us to wait. That decision alone made little sense, but we were still patient and polite about it. That single player later realized he was in the middle of our foursomes who were having a golf outing and so he very cordially headed back to the clubhouse. And then, while we were still playing our final hole, someone from the Pro Shop actually came out to the course to make a sarcastic comment -- asking if we had "gotten lost" -- implying that we were playing too slowly. Again, there was hardly anyone on the course. The arrogance and lack of basic courtesy was jaw-dropping. Things went downhill fast after we finished our round. When we returned our golf cart, we parked it in the same general area as several others that had been returned before ours. Moments later, the person running the Pro Shop stormed outside and began loudly berating us because we hadn't parked the cart in the exact "designated" spot they apparently had in mind (which was just a few feet away from where we had parked it). There was no reason for this outburst from that Pro Shop employee. The confrontation escalated quickly into a shouting match, turning what had been a nice day into an uncomfortable and embarrassing scene. It's hard to understand how a public golf course can treat paying customers with such disrespect. We weren't loud, rude, or disruptive -- we were just trying to enjoy a casual outing on the golf course. Instead, we were made to feel very unwelcome by their staff. Until the management at Sandwich Hollows completely rethinks how they treat their guests, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. There are dozens of other courses on Cape Cod that understand how to run a golf facility and treat golfers with the respect they deserve. This one clearly does not.

The man yelled and cursed at him then threatend our group. (" dont make me tell you again ") and drove off. So we played for 18 and played17. We went to complain and the pro shop was " locked".

Course is part of a small resort, and the practice green is actually in somewhat of a courtyard that is surrounded by rooms. Pro shop attendant was very friendly and helpful. The course is a bit pricey, but not necessarily by Cape Cod standards. However, it has no junior rates, so $20 for 9 holes is a bit much for a 7 year old. Overall, a good experience, and I would play here again.

From our first visit, the space stood out. The ballroom has soaring ceilings, brick floors, and walls of windows overlooking the beautifully manicured grounds. The adjacent protected ceremony space beneath the trees feels private, peaceful, and elegant. What impressed us most was how smoothly everything ran. We did not hire a wedding planner, so we relied heavily on the venue team, and our coordinator Macarena was exceptional--organized, responsive, and very experienced in helping the bride shape the flow of the day. Every transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception felt effortless. The food was truly outstanding. The plated dinner was restaurant quality, and guests commented on how exceptional it was. The staff handled every detail of setup and breakdown with great care, which allowed our family to enjoy the celebration instead of worrying about logistics. If you are searching for a Cape Cod wedding venue, The Ridge Club offers beautiful surroundings, excellent food, and a team that clearly knows how to execute a seamless event. We are very grateful to The Ridge Club team for making the day feel so smooth and memorable.
