A Brief History of the Woodstock Golf Club

More than seven decades have passed since the Woodstock Country Club opened in the spring of 1929. Some things have changed over the years, including the club's middle name. The founders short- lived vision of an 18 hole course, tennis courts, and posh clubhouse succumbed to the Depression, and "Golf" replaced "Country", thus Woodstock Golf Club. Other things haven't changed.

The course's nine holes today make the same roughly circular, counter clockwise sweep, with a back and forth jog in the middle.The course is bounded by Route 375 (known in '29 as the Kingston Road), Birch Lane, the Sawkill Creek, and Route 212. The course measures 5,511 yards for 18 holes.
In 2001, at age seventy- one, the club remains a mix of change and status. The course continues to evolve year by year- a new bunker here, a new tee there- but the founders would undoubtedly recognize and approve of the club and the course they brought into being.

Now, as then, a round of golf at Woodstock starts with a walk across the Sawkill Creek, and no matter what happens in between, there are far worse ways to spend the day.
