Wellesley
The original 9-hole course at Wellesley Country Club was a Donald Ross design which he laid out on sixty-six acres a year after the club’s formation in 1910. Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek remodelled this layout in the late 1920s.
Geoff Cornish was called in to add another nine when the club acquired a further thirty-nine acres in 1960 and this 18-hole layout was subsequently modified by Brian Silva in 1993 then Craig Schreiner in 1999.
Mark Mungeam then upgraded the course prior to the club staging the 101st edition of the Massachusetts Open in 2010 which was hosted as part of the club's centennial celebrations.
