Wachusett Country Club

Wachusett Country Club sits in the central Massachusetts hills outside Worcester, a parkland layout commissioned in 1927 by Worcester businessmen on the former Frost Farm. Donald Ross designed the course, and most of its greens retain the hallmark traits of his work — crowned or subtly contoured putting surfaces that reward precise approach play and punish misses off the edges. The club operates as semi-private with ample public access, making it one of the more accessible Ross designs in the region. It carries a mid-range price point ($$) and serves as the anchor of the Massachusetts Heartland sub-trail within the broader Donald Ross New England Trail, a multi-state itinerary spanning Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.
