From the reviews

High school reunion for a friend. Three of us attended and had a great time. It was a catered event. Delicious food. Great music. A good time!

★★★★★ — Kathy, Aug 2024

Unbelievable views on nearly every hole, great staff, challenging but not smash your clubs challenging. Alot of renovations and upgrades happening and it keeps getting better and better. Must play!

Getting married at Bass Rocks Golf Club

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
