History

Founded in 1924, Wampanoag was advertised as an alternative club to the already existing Country Clubs in and around West Hartford, Connecticut. The Club House has been remodeled many times since then, the Clubhouse was re-built in 1975, and has been renovated numerous times since then. Wampanoag is in the "Quiet Corner" of West Hartford, You can see the astonishing Talcott mountain from the Golf Course.

Golf Course

The premier 18 holes of golf was designed by the famous Donald Ross. Ross has also designed the very famous golf course for the Oakley Country Club in Massachusetts. Ross was also a professional golfer, who played in the British Open, and the U.S. Open. The Club has traditionally been a golfer's club with a high percentage of low handicap players and a very active golfing membership. Wampanoag has hosted more than 20 major championships and is still a preferred site for championship tournaments. Wampanoag hosted the 2005 Women’s State Open Champion and Wampanoag's own Liz Janangelo successfully defended her title. Each hole presents a different problem at Wampanoag.Fact|date=April 2008
