Concord Country Club

Concord Country Club sits in Concord, Massachusetts, a town steeped in American Revolutionary history and literary heritage. The course was designed by Donald Ross and opened in the 1920s, part of the prolific architect's extensive work throughout New England. Ross routed the layout across rolling terrain characteristic of the region, incorporating natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define the playing corridors and frame many holes. The design reflects Ross's trademark principles: strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful placement over raw distance, greens with subtle contours and false fronts that demand precise approach play, and a variety of hole lengths and angles that test different aspects of a golfer's game. The property's mature tree growth and modest scale create an intimate playing experience, with several holes moving through tighter, wooded sections while others open to broader views across the Massachusetts landscape. Concord Country Club operates as a private facility serving its membership in the historic Concord community. The club maintains the traditional character of a New England country club, where golf is central to the member experience but complemented by other recreational and social activities. The course has undergone periodic updates over the decades to address maintenance practices and playing standards while preserving the essential routing and strategic elements of Ross's original design. It remains a representative example of the architect's work in the Boston area, offering members a classic round of golf in a setting that reflects both the region's natural beauty and its cultural significance.
