Founded in 1882 and located in Brookline, Massachusetts, The Country Club is one of the oldest and most respected private clubs in the United States. As a founding member of the United States Golf Association, the Club holds a distinguished place in American sporting and social history. Over its long and storied legacy, The Country Club has hosted some of the most significant moments in U.S. golf—including 17 USGA championships, among them the legendary 1913 U.S. Open that forever changed the trajectory of the game.
While its golfing heritage remains central to its identity, The Country Club today represents a complete and dynamic private club experience. Its campus features extensive amenities, including racquet sports (tennis, paddle, and squash), curling, aquatics, skating, fitness and wellness, shooting sports, and overnight accommodations. The Club’s historic yellow clapboard clubhouse stands as a welcoming center for member gatherings, dining, and special events, reflecting both its timeless New England character and its ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence.
The Country Club’s culture is rooted in tradition, respect, and community. Members and staff alike share a deep sense of pride in preserving the Club’s heritage while embracing a forward-thinking approach to hospitality, service, and continuous improvement. With a year-round calendar of social, athletic, and family programming, the Club remains dedicated to creating meaningful connections, cultivating talent, and delivering a world-class member experience marked by professionalism, warmth, and care.
