Founded in 1924, the Wampanoag Country Club was advertised as an alternative club to the already existing country clubs in and around West Hartford, Connecticut. The clubhouse has been remodeled many times since then, the Clubhouse was re-built in 1975, and has been renovated several times since.
Golf Course
The premier 18 holes of golf was designed by Donald Ross. Donald Ross has also designed the very famous golf course for the Oakley Country Club in Massachusetts. Wampanoag hosted the 2005 Women’s State Open Champion and Wampanoag's own Liz Janangelo successfully defended her title. Donald Ross was also a professional golfer, who played in the British Open, and the US Open. Wampanoag has hosted more than 20 major championships and is still a preferred site for championship tournaments. The Club has traditionally been a golfer's club with a high percentage of low handicap players and a very active golfing membership.
