Our
public golf course has a great layout and is only 10 miles
from downtown Boston. It is surrounded by a sirene 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.

#1
|

|
|
For
Men Par 4 -- 363 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 300
yards
FIRST
HOLE:
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. The stakes are about half-way
between the rough edge and the rock wall. Also on the hole is a bunker
down the ride side rough about 150 yards from the green. The green is
slightly elevated with three sand bunkers surrounding it. You are safer
short here.

For
Men Par 4 -- 363 yards | For Women Par 4 --
352 yards
SECOND
HOLE: 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 and it is risk-reward decion. On the approach shot, you
will see that there is a sand bunker on either side of the green (3
total), as well as a wooded area to the right beyond the bunker. Safe
shots are short, but don't count on them bouncing on!

|
For
Men Par 4 -- 359 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 269 yards
THIRD
HOLE: 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 lateral
hazard. There is bunker down the left side that is visible from the
tee. Most players will have 140 yards or less in the the elevated
green, which may effect club selection.

#4
|

|
|
For
Men Par 4 -- 371 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 350 yards
FOURTH
HOLE: This hole again calls for a well-placed (blind) tee shot. To
maximze 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 out of bounds. The
green has a sand bunker on both the left and right sides and is one of
the few at Woburn Country Club that allows for an approach shot to
bounce on.
|
|
#5
|

|
|
For
Men Par 4 -- 410 yards | For Women Par 5 -- 384 yards
FIFTH
HOLE : The longest hole at WCC (especially into the wind). The fifth
offers a wide landing area for all players. The risky players will aim
it down the right side and attempt to cut off some of the distance.
Again there is out of bounds down the left side all the way to the
green. Players will have anywhere from 210-150 yards in the green
depending on driving distance and angle. This fairway drops off to the
right and and errant approach shot can take par right out of the
picture. There is a bunker guarding the left side of the green. Again
here it is possible to bounce one on
|
|
#6
|

|
|
For
Men Par 4 -- 326 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 222 yards
SIXTH
HOLE: The Sixth offers another risk-reward decision. While longer
hitters can hit driver or 3-wood and land on top of the distant plateau
leaving them less than 100 yards in, a 5-wood or long iron can land you
in the valley with only 125 yards to the pin. There is a brook (lateral
hazard) down the left side and a wayward shot right can result in no
shot to the green. There are two sand bunkers on the right side of the
green while anything short could roll back 15 yards from the elevated
green. From the blind approach shot, the two wire towers in the
background offer a good target.
|
|
#7
|

|
|
For
Men Par 3 -- 190 yards | For Women Par 3 -- 139 yards
SEVENTH
HOLE: The first of two very challenging par 3's that Woburn 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 sand 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 good score
here.

#8
|

|
|
For
Men Par 4 -- 389 yards | For Women Par 4 -- 336 yards
EIGHT
HOLE: A slight dog leg left, this hole offers a view of the club house
from the tee. The landing area is initially wide, but bottle-necks
around the 160 Yard area. A good tee shot will leave you with 150-180
yards to this tough green. There is out of bounds down the left side
before the large hill with the shrub and then a lateral hazard the rest
of the way down the left. Leaving the ball below the pin is the name of
the game, as the green slopes sharply form back to front and from right
to left.
|
|
#9
|

|
|
For
Men Par 3 -- 215 yards | For Women Par 3 -- 112 yards
NINTH
HOLE: Our signature hole with a tee shot over a pond. Good tee shots
will carry the hill on the fly and be on the right half of the hill.
From there the landing area slopes toward the green. There is out of
bounds to the extreme left of the hole and also to the extreme right
(toward the parking lot). Players who don't make the hill will have
about 75-80 yards in to a relatively flat green that is infamous for
subtle breaks. Par again is a very good score.
