Wenham Country Club

Wenham Country Club started in 1897 as a construction of a series of golf holes on land known as "Tarr’s pasture." It officially opened in the summer of 1899, exclusively to townsfolk, and within a year a small shelter was built for changing shoes and storing clubs.

In 1924, on the 25th anniversary of its founding, the Club leased additional land and expanded to an 18 hole layout, and opened to the public. At this point, it boasted a membership of 50, and belonged to both the US and Massachusetts Golf Associations.

In 1949, on the 50th anniversary of its founding, the Club boasted a membership of over 200 with representatives from all over the North Shore and surrounding areas. At this time, it enjoyed a more modern clubhouse with full facilities, as well as active men's and ladies' divisions, and junior memberships were offered for the first time.

In 1974, the Club celebrated its 75th anniversary with a flag raising ceremony that was attended by over 300 members, town officials, neighbors, and golfing dignitaries.

Beginning in the early 1980's, the Club began an aggressive campaign of improving the golf course as well as rebuilding its membership. Several greens and tees were rebuilt, the irrigation system was completely replaced, the clubhouse saw many improvements, and two new maintenance buildings were built.

Wenham Country Club continually looks to improve the experience of our Members and the Public who play here. Keep an eye out for anything new, and be sure to contact us with any questions. As always, have fun, be safe, and enjoy your round!
