Or, you can rent a sailboat and let the wind do the work. The club offers instruction on all our rental craft if you're in the mood for a lesson. No need to load anything on or off your car. Our boats are kept steps from the water's edge. Paring is always free in our two street level lots beside the clubhouse. Walk down to the water and find one of the Cape's true treasures, The Chequessett Yacht Club. …

I had the pleasure of assisting my client to tennis lessons with Tennis Pro Calvin Dees during the 2023 summer season- I was nothing but impressed by every person/employee I encountered three times a week for 10 weeks- the grounds were kept beautifully- a cart was ready and waiting for us each time we arrived- the courts were immaculate- the Tennis Pro was always considerate and gracious even when it was us that cancelled at last moment- I am thoroughly impressed with the CheQuessett Country Club.

My husband and I just drove through Friday night Cape traffic to play 9 holes here. We called ahead to make sure they'd be open. When we arrived we were told they don't let carts out after 5 pm. My husband is on dialysis and the only way he can play is with a cart. It would have been nice if they had mentioned it on the phone when we called. When it stays light out until 9:00 it's ridiculous that they don't let carts out after 5:00. Just one cart rental would pay the young workers hourly wage to stay open for 2 more hours. Imagine if they rented 10 more carts?? So frustrated. What a terrible policy! So they'd rather their guests walk the course in 80 degree temperatures than make money. It doesn't make any sense to me. I won't be back

I played a round of golf here over the weekend with my family and we all loved it! The views here are stunning and the staff was extremely helpful, especially one of the employees named Nick. He made us feel like home there, and was attentive to all of our needs. Without a doubt, I will definitely be coming here again.

This was a delightful 9 hole game. The staff were very kind to this out of towner. I was playing as a walk in single and they got me out right away. The price was fair and the course conditions were good overall. And then, the views from several of the elevated tees. Just fabulous. I will be back.

This update is a response to Barbara (General Manager): That was a very well written & creative response, Barbara. However, I ask readers to consider what we have to gain by lying about our experience at CYCC given the day is over and paid for and we will never be returning there? Barbara, however, has a lot of good reasons fabricate a defense of her business and her wife, Tia. Our hope in writing the review was to encourage other couples to proceed with extreme caution when considering CYCC.

This review recently appeared, and was subsequently removed, from The Knot website (something they rarely do) after we provided facts to dispute the many untruths listed in this post. As it now has reappeared here, we are providing our original response below: Lexi, I am sorry to see your review about your wedding day and would have hoped you would have contacted me long before now with any concerns you had. Since you have decided to publicly state such false misrepresentations about CYCC, I feel I must respond. I find your comments about Tia (who has worked in the position of Events Director for four seasons now) to be most puzzling as she made many extra efforts on your wedding party's behalf, from moving boats and allowing your food truck to park and hook up to our electricity overnight, to leaving our office air conditioning on overnight to allow you to leave your flowers in our facilities. The day of your wedding, she and two of our staff even went so far as to build you a Chuppah 10 minutes before your ceremony began out of oars and a tablecloth when the one you rented did not arrive. In fact, when I arrived after your ceremony and saw you standing outside, you gushed about how Tia and our staff had "saved" your wedding with their quick thinking and how much you loved the Chuppah they had put together on your behalf. As to your wedding ring, during our conversation you also praised Tia's decision to keep our staff out of the boathouse while your wedding party looked for your ring. (We normally help as much as we can with any last minute issues, but with something as delicate as a missing ring; our policy is to pull our staff out of the building, to avoid the very thing you are now accusing them of.) As the ring was later found inside the boathouse, and my staff was outside of the boathouse when it was found, I will leave it at that. As we well know, many things get misplaced in the nervous moments before ceremonies; from shoes, to flowers, to rings. I am not sure there was blame to be placed on anyone as it was found under a table, if I remember correctly. I will also point out, on my staff's behalf, that four of us stayed an hour longer than normal after the event helping your brother pack up two carloads of decorations and gifts on their own volition as it had started to rain. Something none of them had to do. As you stated when you came to my office over a week after your wedding, "Your day and the venue were wonderful" and there were no complaints at all with my staff. Your only questions and comments were about the bar bill which leads me to believe that your dissatisfaction stems mainly from the fact that it was higher than you expected. We caution all of our wedding parties about the downsides of "open" bars and that guests sometimes tend to drink more than they normally would, lose drinks, or try cocktails they normally wouldn't try. In our efforts to help wedding parties control costs we give them a host of options from not including top shelf liquors, opting for a cash bar, or having a limited open bar. None of these suggestions were chosen by you for your bar. I will refer briefly back to an email I sent your mother explaining the bar bill to her. There were many guests drinking top shelf liquor, there was a champagne toast, and there were also people attempting to drink alcohol they brought on premise (a direct violation of MA liquor laws). I mention these things once again to show that people were obviously drinking in different patterns than they may normally do, and these actions, along with a toast, add up quickly. I will also note, as I did before, the tabulation sheets and invoice were presented to the paying party. He chose not to look at the tabulation sheets or take a copy with him when asked. As we did not hear from anyone from the wedding party for over a week, I recycled the tabulation sheets as I routinely do. It is unfortunate that people drank more than you expected, and I understand your dismay regarding this, but I am bound by my fiscal responsibilities to the club and by MA liquor laws to charge for the amounts consumed, which I did. As I have stated previously, nothing more than what was consumed was charged, but nothing less either. As always, I can be contacted at the phone number on your contract, the website, and on your invoice which is 508-349-3704 ext. 5. My email is [email protected]. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to discuss this further. We have 30 weddings booked for this season and 6 already booked for 2017. This winter Tia and I both worked with a great custom awning business out of Boston and have designed a custom boathouse awning that is being built as we speak! This will allow our guests to enjoy even more protection from the sun and any worries about inclement weather while taking in the amazing view of the harbor. We are looking forward to a wonderful wedding season here at CYCC.

We were married in the Boathouse at Chequessett in June, 2015. When we first visited Chequesstt, we toured their beach and boathouse with General Manager, Barbara and were instantly in love with the picturesque views of Wellfleet Harbor. However, this was where our good experience ended. After signing the contract, we were told our contact person would be their new event director Tia- this was her first season. Tia proved to be rude, difficult to deal with and down right impossible to get in touch with until a few weeks before our actual wedding. When we approached Barbara with our concerns, we learned that Tia was actually her wife and so our complaints fell on deaf ears. We had a beautiful wedding but it was riddled with drama because of the CYCC staff. Hours before our ceremony was slated to begin, my husband and I were in the boathouse having photos taken with our photographer (the only other people there were our best man, maid of honor, parents, and the CYCC staff) when we discovered that my wedding band had been STOLEN from my bag. We, of course, were panicked and devastated. The staff didn't seem fazed at all; no one said anything or even stopped what they were doing to help us as we ransacked the boathouse looking for it. It was only after my father loudly announced that he would be calling the cops, that the ring mysteriously appeared under a table (of course, we had emptied the room of all tables during the 45 minute search). It was obviously placed there by the thief who had a change of heart. We cannot say with certainty that it was a CYCC staff member, but I think it is fair to say it wasn't our dearest family and friends. And the drama did not end there. One of CYCC's policies, is that the bar tab be paid at the conclusion of the wedding (a common practice, I think). We asked my brother to take on that responsibility so that we would not have to interrupt our celebration for business. The next day he informed us of the amount and we were astonished. Although the bar tab would appear fitting for a wedding of 50 moderate to heavy drinkers, ours was unique in that we have a lot of friends/family who do not drink- in fact, only 30 of our guests drink. In order for the bar tab to have been accurate, each of those 30 people would have had to drink 10 drinks! We assumed it was a simple mistake and attempted to contact Chequessett. As usual, they were impossible to get a hold of. So much so, that we had to drive to the venue to confront them. When we expressed our concerns, we were told it was not an unusual amount for a 50 person wedding. Barbara did not seem to grasp that it was a 30 person wedding for all intents and purposes. She even went so far as to say she didn't believe only 30 people drank (a huge insult since most of the 20 who didn't are in recovery). When we asked to see an itemized bill, they conveniently said they had already disposed of it (even though the wedding was only days before and the list was never offered to my brother when he paid the bill). All in all, it was a miracle that we had such a fantastic wedding. Wellfleet is beautiful and Chequessett is one of very few venues if you're set on a wedding there. We believe they take advantage of that fact and of the beauty of their location to provide inferior service and immoral business practices. We gave them 1 star because the venue is truly breath taking. But, if we had to do it over again, we would never trust any of their staff and probably would have picked a different venue.

All in all a well maintained course. The course is extremely short though, making for many short approaches. Only a couple holes where you can freely hit he driver. I was hoping for a better practice green. It was very small without much slope. Unfortunately the day I went was rainy and windy. I was told that the wind is typically twice as strong as most other places in the area so be weary about playing on an already windy day. The staff was friendly and I would recommend the course if you can find some specials. I think the typical greens fees are a little steep.

Real Cape Cod Weddings

Nicole & Michael at Chequessett Yacht & Country Club

Jennifer Kain DeFoe May 26, 2023

With the words “yacht and country club” right in its name, one could easily assume that the Chequessett Yacht & Country Club has a buttoned-up, formal feel. So not case with the Cape Cod waterfront wedding venue where Nicole and Michael were married on a sultry summer Saturday.

Located on the bay side of Wellfleet, the venue is the postcard-perfect place for a destination wedding on Cape Cod, with a wide white-sand beach with more than enough room for a sand-in-the-toes ceremony. With a wrap-around porch overlooking the water, the adjacent boathouse is the beachiest Cape Cod beach wedding venue ever.

With the ceremony set for 5:00 pm, Nicole had the entire day for primping and pampering and enjoying a bit of bubbly with her maids at a nearby summer home.

Once Mom had helped her into a stunning sheath-style dress with a lace overlay, Nicole spent a few minutes with the “other man in her life,” her dear father.

Dad walked his beautiful girl down the beach where her groom awaited. The big moment had finally arrived!

Michael and Nicole pledged their love for each other and exchanged “I do’s” as their loved ones look on, with the gorgeous beach offering the ultimate seaside backdrop.

As guests made their way into the boathouse for the cocktail hour, Nicole and Michael gathered their wedding party and families together on the beach for a few quick photos, with photographer Lane Caroline capturing each moment.

It was party time!

From their invitation suite to the white-on-white floral arrangements and white flowers adorning the three-tier wedding cake, and driftwood accents, Nicole and Michael’s décor had a decidedly cohesive feel that beautifully complemented the wedding venue and their own personal style. They opted for a vibe that was fresh and modern, yet at the same time felt classic and traditional.

After the first dances, Nicole and Michael together then Nicole with her father and Michael with his mother, the couple took their seats at the sweetheart table. Heartfelt speeches were followed by a sumptuous dinner and the cake cutting.

And after that? The evening was all about dancing. And love. Lots of love.

Jaimie & Ari at Winslow Estate

The top 50 most exclusive yacht clubs in the world honored with platinum status.

Royal Yacht Squadron in England

The rich and famous are not merely looking for the best place to anchor their yachts; they are also seeking out exclusive memberships in stunning destinations, all offering luxury amenities and, of course, bragging rights. These exclusive yachting clubs with often outrageous initiation fees, provide luxurious clubhouses, and provide accommodations for yachties who want to get their land legs. Most of them provide high-end concierge service to its members as well as Michelin-star quality restaurants and more.

Yacht Clubs have been recognized in the Platinum Clubs of America elections for more than 20 years. According to the Platinum Club, “Recognition in the following categories is important in the selection of Platinum status; Tradition, history, and heritage, a respected membership, excellence in amenities, exceptional service, adapting to changing times, and overall experience.

I spoke with the President of Club Leaders Forum, David V. Smith, about the selection, and he says, “we created an alphabetical selection this time as opposed to by rank because we felt that it was challenging to compare a yacht club in Ireland with a yacht club in Singapore, as amenities, location and facilities do vary quite a lot. The yachting and boating world is a different and unique culture, typically a little more relaxed and not as formal as country clubs and golf clubs. However, many of the world’s finest yacht clubs have wonderful history and traditions, with a great sense of camaraderie among their members. Certain yacht clubs were selected by the Panel not necessarily for their facilities and amenities but in their recognition of hosting world class sailing regattas and events.”  

Here are the top 50 most exclusive yacht clubs worldwide being awarded the ultimate Platinum Status for 2021.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
