Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This is one of the best starting holes that you will ever play. It is fair and is just tough enough to make your introduction to Worcester Country Club a pleasant one. It has a generous landing area from an elevated tee. For many golfers a driver will be too much club, as there is a creek lurking 240 yards in the distance. A fairway wood or long iron will do nicely to reach the 150 yard marker. Th

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A true par five that demands an accurate tee shot to avoid the rough on the left and the out of bounds that runs the entire right side of this straight fairway. To avoid trouble on the right, start your tee shot at the left side of the fairway with a fade. The fairway drops severely to a creek that crosses the fairway 175 yards from the green. On the second shot, take enough club to carry the cree

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway From the tee, the drive must be placed on a plateau near the 150 yard marker in order to view the green. Off the tee, favor the right center of the fairway to avoid the drop off on the left side. Approach shots from the right will kick toward the center of the green. A mid-iron shot will land you on this elevated, flat, well bunkered green. From the fairway, you can not see the greenside bunkers o

Hole 4

From The Tee This long par three presents the ultimate challenge of playing a shot that requires distance and accuracy from an elevated tee to an elevated and well bunkered green. The distance will require an additional club - and if there is a north wind pull out the driver! The green is sloped severely from back to front and has a ridge running through the left third of the green. Depending upon the pin posi

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway `The "risk - reward" aspect of this hole demands skill and respect. Long hitters can reach this elevated green in two if they avoid the creek that runs the entire left side. A drive to the right center of the fairway leaves the best angle to this elevated green. The length of the tee shot will determine whether to lay-up in front of a large pond or go for it! If the lay up is the choice, a medium

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee A challenging par three that features an elevated green on a plateau, where only the flag is visible. The plateau has a long apron of fairway before the green and is visually deceiving. Make sure to take enough club. A tee shot that lands front right has the best chance of holding the green. Long and left is trouble. The green is very much a Donald Ross design, with sloped edges and a large mound

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee The seventh is one of the most unique holes on the golf course. An uphill dogleg right, it requires a well placed tee shot over a ravine and pond. Do not miss it short or right - you will have to play a provisional from the tee. A fade around the trees on the right sets up perfectly for the uphill approach. The shot to the green demands accuracy and plays longer than the yardage. Once on the green

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee This par three features a slightly elevated green that cannot be seen from the teeing area. It is well bunkered and threatening with out-of-bounds on the entire right side. Take enough club to carry the front right bunker, which cuts tangentially into the putting surface. This generous green has many subtle breaks that may frustrate the first timer.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway There are many reasons that this is the number one handicap hole. The toughest hole is all about the drive. Up the left center of the fairway is ideal but too far left will find you are blocked by the trees. Those who drive it too far right will reach a fairway drop-off, leaving you a tough side-hill lie with either a long iron or a fairway wood. Classic Ross, this large green is elevated, cannot

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee After the challenge of number nine the 10th would seem to present an easy beginning to the back nine. But this is no time to let your guard down. This downhill par three is heavily bunkered and drops off severely on the left and in the rear. If this green is missed, so is par. A tee shot that lands on the front third of the green is best. As on all our par threes, care is required to avoid a three

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The teeing area is elevated above a generous fairway which swings slightly to the left. Bunkers line the right and deep woods and rough make the left inhospitable. An approach from the right center of the fairway sets up the best angle to the green. The second shot requires a medium to long iron. Don't go long. Nothing will stop a shot that lands beyond this back-to-front sloping green as the drop

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee Some argue that the twelfth is Worcester’s toughest hole and it is rated the second handicap hole. A large hill on the right will help to kick back slightly errant drives or add yardage to the well executed hook. The length of the tee shot will determine if the green is reachable. The key is landing the approach on the right front of the green which is strategically bunkered and drops off severely

From The Tee This final par three requires a shot that has to be long enough to miss the deep bunkers on the left and right front. This picturesque golf hole shares design characteristics with the famous "Redan" hole at North Berwick in Scotland. Depending upon the wind, it may remind the international golfer of par 3’s in British Isles. Take enough stick to carry the right bunker and reach the front of the gr

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway When you survey this hole from the tee, the fairway seems generous with a small fairway bunker on the left. Don’t get too confident. This bunker is voracious and wind from the right is often a factor. Aim toward the right center of the fairway and favor the front half of the green. You don't want to go beyond this narrow green which has sand bunkers on the left and grass bunkers on the right. The

From The Tee

From The Fairway The only par five on the back nine. A tee shot that fades up the left side of the fairway will give you the best angle for your second shot. The fifteenth doglegs to the right. Depending upon the length of your second shot, most will find themselves in a large gulley with a blind shot to a well bunkered green that falls off severely on the front third. Longer hitters may carve a fade to the crest

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This is one of the more picturesque golf holes on the course. From an elevated tee to a downhill fairway, the temptation may be to grip it and rip it. But a tee shot left could be in the tree line and there is one small oak in the right rough that can play havoc with your approach shot. Plus there is a lateral hazard on the right. This green slopes away from you. Take one or two clubs less on this

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This is the longest par four at Worcester CC. A solid drive to the right center of the fairway prevents you from getting blocked out on the left. The approach is two clubs shorter than the yardage suggests but it will still be a long iron or fairway wood to a distant green seventy feet below the upper fairway. With the fairway sloping to the right, the right hand bunkers that guard the green gathe

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This great finishing hole showcases Donald Ross' genius. A drive up the left center of the fairway is the shortest route to the upper level. However, it is a long blast. For most players tee shots land short of the plateau and leave an uphill and side hill lie. The second shot to this green is critical. The green is well guarded by six deep greenside bunkers - three in front, two to the left and o
