In 1916, Donald Ross designed the course at Pocasset which today remains a testament to his vision. Since becoming a private, equity owned club in 1989, the course has undergone a total restoration, all in the Ross tradition. Our members enjoy a multitude of very active golf programs for both men and women. Our Pro Shop is very well stocked and has merchandise to please. Our staff professionals are eager to assist in every way and will help you develop a better game as well.


Designed by the legendary architect Donald Ross, the Pocasset Golf Club was first built in the very early 1900s on rolling, natural terrain utilizing the original clubhouse and barn which are still standing on the waterside of Shore Road. Modern machinery had yet to be invested, and workers, assisted by horses and plows, toiled with axes and grub hoes, digging up pines and cedars to create holes on land once used for farming.


The Village of Pocasset was a vacation destination for many, with steam trains bringing folks to Bourne, stopping at a station then located to the right of our 6th tee.


Nearby on the water side of the station were hotels, and in the other direction, a road wound its way up between the 7th and 8th fairways and beyond, to the village and a large iron foundry that employed many local residents.


While the course has undergone considerable changes over the years, many of the original Ross designs remain and Ron Force, a noted devotee of Donald Ross who stayed true to the Ross vision, has designed all recent course restoration. We hope you will enjoy our golf course, it’s natural beauty and the many special challenges it brings.
