A 3-round, 4-golfer trip to Cape Cod runs about $1,320 per person with mid-range ($$) lodging. That covers 3 peak-season green fees, lodging at roughly two golfers per room, and a daily food + ground-transit allowance. Flights are excluded since they depend on your home airport.

Cape Cod sits in Massachusetts. The closest major airport is Boston (BOS), which serves as the primary hub for most visitors. Most groups fly into BOS, rent one or two SUVs, and base out of a single resort or hotel for the entire trip.
