Course Description
In 1927, a group of Worcester businessmen engaged the services of famous golf course architect, Donald Ross, to design a golf course that was to be known as Wachusett Country Club. The chosen site was the former Frost Farm in West Boylston, MA. However, few saw the dark clouds of the Great Depression gathering on the horizon. In 1939, Wachusett was taken over by its creditors and Joseph Marrone, a successful Worcester entrepreneur, took control of the deteriorating business and began what was to become a successful family business that would continue through four generations. After Joe's death in 1969, the three Marrone boys continued to uphold Wachusett's impeccable reputation while encountering several challenges along the way including a fire that destroyed most of the clubhouse in 1972. However, the clubhouse was rebuilt quickly and the successful business continued. When both Edward and Richard died in their early 50's, Donald took over the helm of Wachusett and worked for the next 20 years side by side with his son Donald Jr. cultivating and nurturing the golf course which was to them much more than just a business. Today, Don Jr. continues to run Wachusett with his four children who were instilled with the same belief that dedication and hard work are essential in continuing Wachusett's success.

Tee Insight:This course feels like a steady test of iron precision and short game touch on mostly compact holes, where aggressive plays on reachable par fives tempt birdies but tougher par fours pressure steady scoring to avoid bogeys.
