Golf Course Information

Description

A great deal has transpired since the above words were written in the inaugural report by the first President of Wampanoag Country Club. Wampanoag is among the best layouts in Connecticut and has remained mostly untouched since the clubs inception in 1924. Famed Course designer Donald Ross sculpted a championship course on this beautiful park-like piece of land. Donald Ross is widely recognized as the leading golf architect of the 20th century - and quite possibly of all time. He is best known for his simple designs that use the existing natural landscape to challenge golfers of all skill levels. Born in Scotland in 1872, Ross spent much of his adult life in the United States. He was involved in designing or redesigning close to 400 courses from 19001948, laying the foundation for America's golf industry, including Wampanoag, in 1924.

The greens are rated among the most challenging and fastest in Connecticut. The Club has traditionally been a golfer's club with a high percentage of low handicap players and a very active golfing membership. Wampanoag has hosted more than 20 major championships and is still a preferred site for championship tournaments. Wampanoag hosted the 2005 Womens State Open Champion and our own Elizabeth Janangelo successfully defended her title.

The Club is a wonderfully vibrant and social place. Wampanoags mission to maintain a relaxed golf atmosphere is enhanced by the clubs tradition of having no tee times. This is a time honored policy that sets our club apart from all others. Members are encouraged to come to the club and join the first available group of golfers.
