TEKOA COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Westfield, MA, USA
Designed by Donald Ross, Geoffrey Cornish

Tekoa Country Club sits in the rolling hills of Westfield, Massachusetts, a city in the Pioneer Valley region west of Springfield. The course was originally designed by Donald Ross, one of the most prolific architects of the early twentieth century, whose New England portfolio includes numerous layouts that take advantage of natural terrain. Geoffrey Cornish, a Massachusetts-based architect who practiced extensively throughout New England in the mid-to-late twentieth century, later contributed modifications and updates to the design.
The routing works across varied topography typical of western Massachusetts, with elevation changes and wooded corridors that frame many holes. Ross's design principles—strategic bunkering, greens with subtle contours, and holes that reward thoughtful placement over pure distance—remain evident in the layout. Cornish's involvement likely addressed modern playing standards and maintenance practices while respecting the original design intent.
Tekoa serves as a traditional private club for the Westfield community, offering a course that reflects the classic American parkland style common to New England facilities from this era. The combination of Ross's foundational design and Cornish's regional expertise has produced a layout that balances playability for members with the strategic interest characteristic of both architects' work. The course provides a representative example of how many early Ross designs in smaller New England markets have evolved through thoughtful stewardship over the decades.
