Black Swan Country Club


About this course
Black Swan Country Club sits in Georgetown, a small town in northeastern Massachusetts about thirty miles north of Boston. The course was designed by Phil Wogan, a regional architect whose work appears primarily in New England. The property occupies rolling terrain typical of the coastal Massachusetts landscape, with mature tree cover and natural elevation changes that shape the routing and playing corridors. The layout moves through a mix of wooded and semi-open terrain, with holes that incorporate the site's natural contours rather than extensive earthmoving. Golfers encounter elevation shifts that affect club selection and create varied approach angles into greens. The design reflects a traditional New England aesthetic, with tree-lined fairways and greens that reward accurate iron play. Water features and natural hazards come into play on several holes, adding strategic variety to the round. Black Swan serves primarily as a private club for members from the Georgetown area and surrounding North Shore communities. The course provides a setting for regular member play and local competitive events typical of regional country clubs in Massachusetts. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports the club's social and dining functions, maintaining the traditions common to established New England private clubs.

Getting there
Black Swan Country Club sits just inland from the North Shore of Massachusetts, accessible most directly via Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), roughly forty minutes south by car through the rolling suburbs and coastal towns that define this corner of New England. The drive itself traces a quiet arc through Georgetown's tree-lined streets, where the landscape shifts from highway commerce to the settled, understated elegance of the North Shore's established communities. For those arriving by private aviation, Beverly Municipal Airport (BVY) lies even closer, a mere fifteen minutes away, offering the discretion befitting a club of Black Swan's caliber. The final approach winds through the manicured neighborhoods surrounding the property, arriving at a sanctuary where old-money restraint and championship golf architecture converge in seamless, unhurried grace.
