Five consecutive weeks of increases pushed average 30-year mortgage rates to 4.72, their highest in 7 years. Experts attribute the rising trend to the robust economy, rising Treasury yields and the anticipation of more short-term rate hikes.

Meet Me At The Club For Lunch!
You don't have to be a golfer to enjoy breakfast or lunch at one of our many wonderful clubhouse restaurants! Here are some of our favorites offering not just good food, but picturesque settings as well.
Cranberry Valley
(Harwich) - The popular Hot Steve Restaurant in Harwich Port operates the clubhouse restaurants at both Cranberry Valley Golf Course in Harwich and Captain's Golf Course in Brewster. We love dining at Cranberry Valley not just because of the good food served by the Hot Stove, but because of the beautiful, covered, wrap-around porch overlooking the putting green and the 10th tee and fairway.
Bass River (Yarmouth) - Want a water view with lunch? Head to the Bass River Grille in Yarmouth. Overlooking the Bass River, this casual dining spot has a limited menu but the view is sure to please. Go on a warm day so you can sit out on the patio.
Cape Club (Falmouth) - If you want to step up the cuisine and maybe even make it a special dinner instead of lunch, check out the Cape Grille at the Cape Club, formerly known as Ballymeade and conveniently located off route 151. The view from the veranda is spectacular and the menu is mouthwatering. Offering Sunday Brunch as well. Reservations suggested.
