WELLFLEET, MA - The National Park Service (NPS) has announced the selection of Johnson Golf Management, Inc., to operate the Highland Links Golf Course, located at Cape Cod National Seashore, in the town of Truro, MA. The Highland Links Golf Course is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is considered the oldest links course in America, established in 1892. The golf course offers a rare opportunity for golfers to play a true links course, with coastal views and minimally manicured terrain. The course is part of a larger historically significant area, with the adjacent Highland Lighthouse and Highland House (a historic summer hotel currently home to the Truro Historical Society), and the nearby Highlands Center, a former U.S. Air Force Station.

Johnson Golf Management, has provided outstanding service at Highland Links since 2014. The Highland Links will continue to operate as a traditional links course.

The new ten-year concession contract is authorized under the National Park Service ConcessionsManagement Improvement Act of 1998 which requires a competitive process. The NPS concessions program manages commercial visitor services that are necessary and appropriate for public use and enjoyment at National Park sites.
