Beverly Golf & Tennis Club

Detailed description of Beverly Golf & Tennis Club

Beverly Golf & Tennis Club, is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in Beverly, Massachusetts

Designed by Donald Ross, the Beverly Golf Course opened in 1910. 

The course and club were commissioned by United Shoe Machinery Corporation (United Shoe) which, at that time, was the largest employer in the City and one of the world’s leading manufacturers of shoemaking equipment. The Clubhouse was a social and recreational facility for the United Shoes employees. The company was at the forefront of voluntarily undertaking actions for the improvement of the working and living conditions of its employees.

United Shoe employees used the Clubhouse and adjacent grounds for a variety of athletic and other recreational activities until 1971 when the Clubhouse and surrounding 300 acres were sold to a private developer. In 1978, the City purchased the Clubhouse and 168 acres which the City continued to use as a golf course. The developer retained the additional 132 acres for housing and conservation.
