Henry C. Mitchell

East Dennis, MA

Dennis Pines Golf Course is located in the village of East Dennis on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, set on about 170 acres of pine forest. The course was designed by Henry C. Mitchell and opened for play in 1966. Tree-lined corridors give the course a reputation as one of the toughest layouts on Cape Cod, placing a premium on accuracy over distance, with water coming into play on four holes; the par-5 twelfth is considered one of the more demanding holes on the Cape. Architect Robert McNeil more recently redesigned the course's bunkering across the front and back nines to improve playability while keeping the character of the holes. Dennis Pines is a municipal course open to the public, playing to a par of 72 over roughly 7,000 yards from the back tees, with a full practice facility, pro shop and restaurant on site.
