Woodland Golf Club
About
Woodland Golf Club is a private club in the Auburndale village of Newton, founded in 1896. Its centerpiece is an 18-hole championship course whose history includes an original 1901 design and Donald Ross redesigns, plus a recent master plan. Members also have tennis, pickleball and platform tennis courts, an aquatic center, casual and formal dining and a full social calendar.
Woodland is the original club of Francis Ouimet, the “father of amateur golf.” A working-class high school golfer, he received a junior membership so he could enter the US Amateur, and in 1913 he stunned the golf world by winning the US Open over Harry Vardon. The club logo’s three stars honor its three US Amateur champions: Ouimet, Jesse P. Guilford and Stanley E. “Ted” Bishop. The colonial-style clubhouse dates to 1923.
