Golf Course Information

Description

In the fall of 1896, a group of men determined to promote the interests of the game of golf met at Auburndales Woodland Park Hotel. By the turn of the century, Woodland Golf Club of Auburndale was a nine-hole golf course measuring 2619 yards. By 1907, the course was expanded to 18 holes. The architect of record for Woodlands golf course was Wayne Stiles.

In 1910, future United States Open Champion Francis Ouimet was a young high school golfer determined to play in the U.S. Amateur. In Francis own words, "To compete in the national amateur championship I had to belong to a recognized golf club&I put in an application for junior membership in the Woodland Golf Club& I was elected to membership in Woodland, paid my dues, then got busy to find myself a job."

In the 1920s additional land was purchased and famed golf course architect Donald Ross was commissioned to redesign the existing layout. In the early 1960s, Woodland retained noted golf course architect Geoffrey Cornish for the great redesign of the golf course.
