Wampanoag Country Club

In the early 1920s, 330 men from the area decided to spend $1,000 each to purchase territory near Hartford to create a country club. The course was designed by the well-known golf course architect Donald Ross. Over half a million dollars had been invested to create the club. In 1954, construction for a new clubhouse began. A swimming pool and locker room were new additions from the old clubhouse. In the late 20th and early 21st century, Wampanoag has hosted a number of other significant tournaments. In 1998, the course hosted the Kennedy Cup, an event pitting local golfers from Hartford County, Connecticut against amateur golfers from Wexford County, Ireland. In 2005, the course hosted the Connecticut Women's Open. The event was won by Elizabeth Janangelo, a member of the club. == Scorecard ==
