Cape Codders call it “champagne air” when the salty breezes of the Atlantic mingle with zephyrs blowing east off Cape Cod Bay to produce a euphoric rush of emotions.
    Exhilaration is what you will feel on the first hole of The Ocean Course at New Seabury (508-539-8322 option 6 for rental information; 508-539-8200 for new homes; NewSeabury.com) as you are massaged by swirling winds and gaze down the fairway on the 530-yard par-five to see Martha’s Vineyard in the distance.
    “It’s a wow factor to be sure,” says Brendan Reilly, the ebullient head professional at The Club at New Seabury in Mashpee, Massachusetts, which also boasts The Dunes Course. 
    Designed by William Mitchell and opened in 1962 (Rees Jones did some tweaking on a few holes a few years back), the Ocean Course has been called “the Pebble Beach of the East.” The first portion of the course winds along or near Nantucket Sound, and the final nine passes through woodlands and marshes. The Dunes Course, only 6,000 yards from the back tees, is a little gem. The conditions at both private courses are superb.
    New Seabury has an extensive residential component with over 1,000 existing town homes and single-family residences. An additional 450 homes will be built, with five new neighborhoods recently arriving on the market. The property has a tennis facility, fitness center, beach club, cabana and oceanfront pool. The clubhouse at New Seabury contains a restaurant that features majestic views of the ocean as well as great food.
    In addition, The Club at New Seabury offers villas for rent. Staying at the club allows visitors access to both private courses.
