Culture, conservation and community are of equal importance to golf at the Bay Club - a private, member-owned New England golf community in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, located a quarter mile from the shoreline of Buzzards Bay. As one of only two Certified Audubon Silver Sanctuary golf communities in the state, one-third of the community’s 625 acres are dedicated open space.
Reminiscent of traditional neighborhoods in New England's coastal towns, homeowners can select from 2 bedroom single-family living to custom homes, or purchase a homesite and build a new home with one of the community’s Preferred Builders.
In addition to championship golf, the Bay Club offers resort style amenities expected in a private country club setting complimented by an active social calendar geared to bring together members of all ages. Yachting, boating and fishing on Buzzards Bay are located nearby, as is ferry service to Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands. Send me information now!

Dr. Jeremy Stern recently shared his experiences over the last nine years performing orthopedic surgery and “Sports Medicine” on the impoverished citizens of the Dominican Republic with a lecture and slide show presentation. The lecture included a sample of the people he has had the privilege to help and those he has been fortunate to work with.  He explained to members about the evolution of the “missionâ€� and some of the unintended benefits. Dr. Stern also touched upon the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and their attempts to help.
The evening began with special Dominican rum cocktails held at the Sports and Activities Center.
