About The Club

In 1897, a nine-hole course was built on the Abbott Estate, but there was no clubhouse for those calling themselves the "Wellesley Hills Golf Club." Many of these same players joined together in June of 1910 to execute a lease with the Town of Wellesley and thus began the legacy of Wellesley Country Club.

Many golf greats, such as Arnold Palmer, have enjoyed Wellesley Country Club over the years, but no one as storied as Brookline native, Francis Ouimet. In 1913, Ouimet shot two practice rounds of 88 at WCC. One week later, he became the first amateur to win the U.S. Open.

With a course crafted by Donald Ross, Wayne Stiles and Geoffrey Cornish and enhanced by several others, Wellesley Country Club has hosted many events ranging from the Massachusetts Open to the USGA Senior Women's Amateur to various Mass amateur championships to USGA Qualifying events.

Though rich in traditions with a storied past, Wellesley Country Club offers today's members a modern and amenity laden experience. An elegant clubhouse with exceptional dining is the central point of the campus, enhanced by a family-friendly pool complex and expansive racquet center.
