Miacomet Golf Course is a public 18-hole golf course on Nantucket. [1]
In 1956, Ralph P. Marble, a Michigan-native, bought 400-acres of land on Nantucket with dairy farm intentions. [2] [3] The area he bought was called by the old Wampanoag inhabitants "Miacomet", which meant "The Meeting Place". Marble stated that he decided to build a golf course because the dairy market was not doing well. [4]
In 1960, Marble began building the Miacomet Golf Course. [2] [3] In 1963, the Miacomet Golf Course opened as a public year-round golf course. [3] [5] In the early 1970s, due to a fire, the clubhouse was rebuilt without spending any money as the island community provided donated lumber and free labor to replace the original. [4]
In 1983, Marble put the course up for sale and it was planned to be developed into a 216-lot subdivision. [2] In 1985, the Nantucket Island Land Bank (Land Bank) worked with developers to negotiate the purchase of the Miacomet Golf Course for $4.5 million. [2] [6]
After this purchase, the Land Bank made a deal to lease the course operations back to the previous owners who still owned the clubhouse property. [6] During the 1990s, the Land Bank was working on plans to expand this 9-hole course into a 18-hole course. [6]
In 2003, the Lank Bank expanded the original 9-hole course into the only public 18-hole course on the island. [3] [6] It was at this point that the previous owners deeded the clubhouse property to the Land Bank in exchange for grandfathered-in course memberships. [6]
Miacomet Golf Course is currently a public golf course with memberships capped at 400 members. [6] The Land Bank currently contracts course management to Nantucket Golf Management (NGM), Inc, [6] which is the same management team running the Siasconset Golf Club; one of the other golf courses on Nantucket.
During the 41st U.S. Mid-Amateur, Miacomet Golf Course was one of the stroke play co-hosts alongside other co-host Sankaty Head Golf Club. [7]
