History
Joyce acquired the 1,100 acres of ocean-front for the property in 1987, and opened it in 2000. The remnants of a lobster-processing plant from the property's previous use are visible from the back-nine holes of the course. The resort was originally envisioned to be a gated community centred on the golf course. Houses or townhouses would be privately owned and occupied by either permanent or seasonal residents, but the resort eventually evolved into a combination of "private club and public golf".Golf course
