Facility Overview

The car park situated at 250 Milestone Road in Nantucket, Massachusetts, serves the prestigious grounds of the private Nantucket Golf Club, positioned near the tranquil eastern end of the island toward the historic village of Siasconset ('Sconset). Configured as an expansive, meticulously maintained open-air surface lot, the parking area blends into the island's natural conservation terrain with crushed native stone, paved driving lanes, and manicured privet hedges. Because this is an open-air surface facility without overhead garage decks or restrictive height bars, it offers virtually unlimited vertical clearance. The layout comfortably accommodates all standard passenger vehicles, convertibles, full-sized luxury SUVs, light trucks, passenger vans, and vehicles outfitted with roof luggage racks or bicycle carriers.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically situated on Milestone Road—the primary east-west thoroughfare linking the historic core of Nantucket Town to the Atlantic bluffside settlement of Siasconset—this parking location offers direct proximity to some of the island's most iconic maritime and natural destinations:

• Nantucket Golf Club Clubhouse & Course: Immediate, on-site pedestrian access to the Rees Jones-designed 18-hole championship course, bag drop, pro shop, and dining terrace.
• Milestone Cranberry Bogs: Located mere minutes down the road (~1 mile west), offering seasonal harvest views and scenic conservation walking trails managed by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are seamlessly managed via a dedicated, wide driveway directly off Milestone Road. Drivers traveling eastbound from Nantucket Town or Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) enjoy a direct, scenic drive of approximately 10 to 12 minutes through open moors and protected heathland. Exiting the facility is straightforward, with clear lines of sight onto Milestone Road in both directions, allowing smooth dispersal even following high-attendance charity events or member tournaments. Public transit connections are facilitated by the Nantucket Regional Transit Authority (NRTA, known as 'The Wave'), which operates the seasonal 'Sconset via Milestone Road Route,' providing scheduled bus service and flag stops along the corridor connecting straight to the downtown Greenhound terminal.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because 250 Milestone Road is home to a private golf club, parking is generally reserved for club members, invited guests, tournament patrons, and authorized visitors. Enter the club driveway at modest speeds, as golf cart paths and pedestrian walkways intersect near the clubhouse grounds. Watch for cyclists and pedestrians utilizing the Milestone Road multi-use path when turning into and out of the main gate. During the busy midsummer months (July through August), allow a few extra minutes of travel time along Milestone Road due to heavier island traffic and seasonal ferry arrival waves. If visiting during major events, follow posted directional signage or instructions from on-site parking attendants to preserve clear emergency vehicle lanes.
