Wethersfield Country Club

Wethersfield Country Club is hallowed ground, its history inextricably linked to one of golf’s most enduring legends, Walter Hagen, who secured his final major victory here at the 1934 PGA Championship. The course, nestled in the heart of Wethersfield, Connecticut, presents a classic, traditional parkland layout, its relatively flat terrain a stark contrast to the region’s more dramatic topography. Mature trees line gently rolling fairways, placing a premium on strategic positioning rather than brute force. Designed by Devereux Emmet in 1917, Wethersfield underwent subtle refinements over the years, maintaining its Golden Age charm. While not a championship venue on the modern professional circuit, its historical significance and challenging design has cultivated a loyal and competitive membership that relishes the walking-only nature of the course. Wethersfield's appeal lies in its commitment to the traditions of the game. A long-standing tradition amongst the membership is the annual "Hagen Cup", a member-member competition named after the immortal champion, cementing his lasting legacy within the club's identity and the course's unique personality.
