Tedesco Country Club was established in 1903, with members playing on a 6-hole course along the shoreline of St Phillip’s Beach in Swampscott. In the 1920s, the club relocated to its current location with Eugene “Skip” Wogan, the long-time superintendent at Essex County Club, designing a new 18-hole layout.
It comprises two contrasting nines: the relatively straightforward outward half (playing to a par of 34) is routed across what was once fairly flat farmland, with the more difficult inward half (playing to a par of 36) carved through hilly, densely forested terrain.
Holes of note include back-to-back par threes at the 7th and 8th, the 370-yard 12th (said to have been designed by Donald Ross) with a shallow shelf green, and the long par four 16th, where a hogback fairway leads downhill to a green that severely slopes from back to front.
Ron Forse spearheaded a $1.6 million renovation programme in 2018, which included a complete greens surrounds and bunker overhaul, returning traps and putting complexes to their original design intent.
