Despite not being one of Donald Ross’ most notable designs, Wampanoag Country Club is celebrated for the beginnings of the Donald Ross Society in 1988, when a group of members campaigned arduously to reverse "out of character" course alterations.

Donald Ross worked with Old Tom Morris at St Andrews in 1893 then spent part of the following season at Carnoustie before returning to serve under the Dornoch club secretary John Sutherland.
Donald James Ross was born in 1872 to Murdoch Ross, a stone mason by trade, and his wife Lillian Campbell. Their first child had died soon after birth that same year so Donald became the eldest in the family, followed in subsequent years by three brothers and two sisters.
