Massachusetts

The Country Club at Brookline was formed in 1860 and was America’s inaugural Country Club, but members had to wait until 1893 before a rudimentary 6-hole golf course was ready for play. However, Myopia Hunt Club was the golf course that really got things going in Massachusetts, playing host to four early US Open Championships, most recently in 1908.
