WCC was established in 1922. We offer a challenging layout that will test the skills of all levels. WCC is only 10 miles from downtown Boston. It is surrounded by a serene wooded area that allows a cool breeze and renders some shade for the hot days. The course borders Horn Pond and our man-made pond on the third and seventh holes offer a view of local wildlife and fauna.. Look below to find our hole by hole guide to WCC. It outlines hazard areas, out of bounds area and offers some tips for shot positioning. Please click on each video to show the overhead view of each hole.

HOLE #1: For Men Par 4 -- 363 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 300 yards
This hole offers a straight away look at the green. Mostly players will hit driver or 3-wood and leave themselves with 150 yards or less in. There is out of bounds on the left side woods. Out Of Bounce are about half-way between the rough edge and the rock wall. The green is slightly elevated with two bunkers surrounding it. |

HOLE #2: For Men Par 4 -- 363 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 352 yards
There is a big decision on the tee with this hole. There is a wide landing area out there about 200-240 yards. Longer hitters may choose to attempt to get to the bottom of the hill and have only 100 yards in. The hole slopes down to the right after the landing area. On the approach shot, you will see that there is a sand bunker on either side of the green as well as a wooded area to the right beyond the bunker. Safe shots are short, but don't count on them bouncing on! |

HOLE #3: For Men Par 4 -- 359 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 269 yards
This wide fairway is just asking you to "Grip it and Rip it", but do so at your own risk. There is a pond to carry on the right-center at the beginning of the fairway as well as a creek that runs the length of the right-side, which is a Red Penalty Area. Most players will have 140 yards or less in the elevated green, which may effect club selection. |

HOLE #4: For Men Par 4 -- 371 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 350 yards
This hole again calls for a well-placed (blind) tee shot. To maximize roll and distance, the best shot is down the right side of the fairway toward to two towering pines. This section also gives you the best angle to come in at. Down the left there is a Red Penalty Area which will force you to aim down the right side. The green is surrounded by bunkers on both the left and right sides of the green. This one of the few holes at WCC that allows for an approach shot to play shot and roll onto to the green. |

|
HOLE #5 : For Men Par 4 -- 410 yards | For Women Par 5 -- 384 yards
The longest hole at WCC (especially into the wind). The 5th Hole offers a wide landing area for all players. The risky players will aim it down the right side and attempt to cut off some distance. Again there is out of bounds down the left side all the way to the green. Players will have anywhere from 150-200 yards into the green depending on driving distance and angle. This fairway drops off to the right and an errant approach shot can take par right out of the picture. There is a bunker guarding the left side of the green. Again, it is possible to land your approach shot short to allow the ball to run up to the green. |

HOLE #6: For Men Par 4 -- 410 yards | For Women Par 5 -- 384 yards
The 6th Hole offers a risk-reward decision. While longer hitters can hit driver or 3-wood and land on top of the plateau leaving them less than 100 yards for your 2nd shot. 5-wood or a Hybrid can land you in the valley with only 125 yards to the pin. There is a Red Penalty Area down the left side and another short and rigth of the green. If you are not careful, approach shots to an elevated green could roll back down to the valley making a challenging up and down. From the tee box, the two towers in the background offer the proper aiming target. |

|
HOLE #7: For Men Par 3 -- 190 yards | For Women Par 3 -- 139 yards
The first of two very challenging Par 3's that WCC has to offer. This hole requires and accurate long iron or shorter wood to a slightly elevated green. Down the right side is that same pond that you saw from the third tee, while the left side of the green offers an inviting bunker. Don't expect any shots to bounce up, but rather to roll to the foot of the small hill in front. Par is a great score here. |

|
HOLE #8: For Men Par 4 -- 389 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 336 yards
A slight dog leg left, this hole offers a view of the clubhouse from the tee. The landing area is initially wide, but bottle-necks around the 150 yard Marker. A good tee shot will leave you with 150-180 yards to this tough green. There is a Red Penalty Area down the left hand side. While hitting approach shots to this green, it is important to leave the ball below the pin as the green slopes sharply from back to front and from right to left. |

|
HOLE #9: For Men Par 3 -- 150 yards | For Women Par 3 -- 86 yards, Black Tee Markers 87 ydes.
Our signature hole with a tee shot over a pond. Good tee shots will carry the water on the fly .. There is out of bounds to the extreme left of the hole and also over the hill behind the green. This hole was reconstructed in 2018. |
