The Country Club
Brookline, MA · Founded
The Country Club is a private golf club in Brookline, Massachusetts, designed by William Flynn in 1882. The club has 18 holes.
America's first country club spreads across Brookline's hills in a routing that evolved over decades, where Flynn's architectural refinements complement the natural terrain that hosted Ouimet's 1913 miracle. History lives in every fairway.
About The Country Club
The composite course that hosts major championships combines holes from three original nine-hole layouts, creating a routing that feels both natural and surprising as it moves through mature New England landscape. Flynn's green complexes and bunker work provide strategic interest while respecting the site's historical significance and natural contours. The club's role in American golf history extends beyond tournament results—walking these fairways connects you to the sport's social and cultural evolution over 140 years.
