Score Card
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.

#2 |
 |
|
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!

#3 |
 |
|
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.

|
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.
