Worcester City Golf Club was founded in 1898 and it operated a 9-hole course at Tolladine in the northeast area of Worcester up until the late 1920s. Tolladine Golf Club took over the site and play continued there until the club folded in 2006.
Worcester City approached Alister MacKenzie in 1925 and asked him to inspect a potential new site at Spetchley Park which he reported on favourably at the club’s AGM. Later that year, he ran the rule over another property at Boughton Park.
In August the following year, the club decided to move to Boughton Park and MacKenzie was given the commission to design the new layout. On 26 May 1928, the course was officially opened for play under its new name of Worcester Golf & Country Club.
Today, the course extends to 6,245 yards from the rear tees, playing to a par of 70, with the outward half playing more than 400 yards longer than the inward half. Feature holes include back-to-back par fives at the 3rd and 4th holes; the shortest of the par threes at the 148-yard 13th; and the slightly left doglegging 18th which plays to an azalea-framed home green.

Alister MacKenzie was born in England, but his parents were Scottish and the family holidayed every year close to where his father was raised in the traditional Clan MacKenzie lands of Sutherland.
