About Bass Rocks Golf Club
Bass Rocks Golf Club is a private 18-hole, par-69 course laid out in links style along the Atlantic coast in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Its seaside position means shifting coastal winds are a constant factor, and the bent-grass greens run quick, so the course rarely plays the same way twice.
The club offers a practice facility along with a new clubhouse that includes dining. Members take part in both tournament competition and casual social rounds.
