ABOUT WAMPANOAG COUNTRY CLUB

West Hartford, CT | Wampanoag Country Club offers an exceptional setting for relaxation and camaraderie, providing a world-class experience for its members and their families. The club boasts a newly renovated, award-winning Donald Ross Design golf course (2023), a state-of-the-art clubhouse (2025), and scenic patios with views of West Hartford's sunsets. Beyond golf, amenities include platform tennis, a pool, and various dining options, all designed to cater to diverse interests and enhance the community's lifestyle.

Established in the early 1920s, the club's property was acquired in April 1924, and the golf course, designed by Donald Ross, began construction shortly after. The engineering of the course was considered ahead of its time, featuring moderate terrain and self-draining bunkers. Although the initial clubhouse plans were not realized, a farmhouse on North Main Street served as the first clubhouse.

In 1928, the golf course was completed, with a significant investment of over half a million dollars.

A new era for the club began in 1954 with the construction of a new clubhouse, which opened in January 1955, featuring ranch-style architecture and new additions like a swimming pool and locker room. Through the years, Wampanoag Country Club has maintained its commitment to providing a welcoming atmosphere and a rich array of facilities for its members.

Over the past year, the membership has rallied around the club as the new clubhouse is constructed. During this time, they have seen some of the highest levels of engagement and member activity while the entire club is operating out of temporary structures. The highly anticipated opening of the new 34,000 sqft clubhouse in November of 2025 brings an opportunity to a new General Manager to deliver on service standards
