Description

The Country Club
, located in
Brookline, Massachusetts
, is the oldest
country club
in the United States.
[1]
It holds an important place in
golf
history, as it is one of the five charter clubs that founded the
United States Golf Association
, and has hosted numerous USGA tournaments including the
1913 U.S. Open
won by then-unknown
Francis Ouimet
. Today, the club has nearly 1300 members.
The golf facilities have a total of 27 holes, divided between two courses. designed by
Willie Campbell
The
Main Course
is composed of the
Clyde
and
Squirrel
nines, essentially the original 18 holes. This was the course used for the 1913 U.S. Open, and is the course played by members today.
The other nine holes are the
Primrose Course
, an executive course built in 1927. This was designed by
William S. Flynn
, who also (re)designed
Shinnecock Hills
, Cherry Hills Country Club near
Denver
, and the Cascades Course at
The Homestead
, and the Kittansett Club also in Massachusetts.
The
Championship
,
Composite
,
Anniversary
, or
Open Course
is used for major competitions today, when a longer layout is required. In this configuration, three and a half holes from the Primrose Course are used to replace three holes of the Clyde, resulting in a length of almost 7,400 yards. This layout has been used for major competitions since the Primrose Course was built.
The current head golf professional is Brendan Walsh.
