Overview

About Worcester Country ClubWorcester Country Club is most known for being the Home of the First Ryder Cup in 1927. Additionally the club has hosted the US Open in 1925 where Willie MacFarlane defeated Bobby Jones in the first 36-hole playoff after Bobby Jones in what later became recognized as a defining moment in the game of golf, called a penalty on himself when he announced his ball moved on the 11th hole. The club also hosted the 1960 United States Women's Open won by Betsy Rawls.

All three symbolic trophies are proudly displayed at the club honoring our treasured history in the game of golf.
