Siasconset Golf Club, also known as the Siasconset Golf Course and commonly shortened to the Sconset Golf Course, is one of the easternmost golf courses in Massachusetts, perched on the edge of Nantucket Island in Siasconset, Massachusetts. This is the oldest golf course still active on Nantucket and one of the oldest golf courses in America. It once was considered the oldest privately owned golf course in the country still open to the public but, as of 1 May 2012, it is no longer privately owned. It is still known by island locals as "Skinner's Golf Club", or "Skinner's", because Robert "Skinner" Coffin was a co-owner and the superintendent of the course for many years and use to host a recreational golf tournament, known as "The Skinner Open", which was held during the years 1977 to 2011. It is currently operating as a public 9-hole course. This course was also listed in Links Magazine's article titled "The Top 10 Old Courses You Can Play". On 24 October 2019, this course was named the New England Golf Course Owners Association's "Golf Course of New England" for 2020.
