Bass Rocks Golf Club is a private golf club established in 1896. Our sole purpose is to maintain golf and tennis facilities that encourage athletic exercise and provide a place for social meetings. We are a private membership organization with a Sec. 501 (c)(7) federal tax exemption. Situated on 112 acres in East Gloucester, Massachusetts, the Club renders spectacular ocean views to members and their guests. </br></br> Membership surveys conducted in 1987, 1992, and 1995 have resounded the same common themes about the Club and its members: <ul>We are a golf club with tennis facilities. <li>The "specialness" of Bass Rocks is in large part attributable to the social and economic diversity of its membership.</li> <li>The Club should continue to invest the majority of its resources in the continued controlled improvement of the golf course.</li> <li>Improvements to our course and facilities should not destroy or damage the natural beauty of the Cape Ann landscape.</li> <li>We should not increase the golf membership any further. If greater revenues are required a dues increase is preferable to more golf players.</li> </ul>
