Detailed description of Woodland Golf Club
Woodland Golf Club is a Private, 18 hole golf course located in Auburndale, Massachusetts.
Woodland first true golf course – a nine-hole layout measuring 2619 yards opened in 1901.
In 1907, the course was expanded to 18 holes, measuring 5,623 yards with nine holes on each side of the rail tracks. The architect of record for Woodland’s golf course was Wayne Stiles.
In the 1920s Donald Ross was commissioned to redesign the existing layout. Ross’ contouring, bunkering and routing affected 9 holes. He redesigned the course routing, which remained largely unchanged until the early 1960s, and even then was incorporated into the “new Woodland”.
In 1960 architect Geoffrey Cornish made a hole-by-hole redesign of the golf course.
Stephen Kay has been the course's "go-to" architect for the last 20 years (1995 -2015) developing and implementing a course master plan.
