In the 1890's, the sport of golf was rapidly growing in popularity throughout America. The city of Waterbury was no different, with the earliest known matches being played in the Spring of 1896 at the West End Golf Links along the east bank of the Naugatuck River, near present-day Colonial Plaza.
This early 9-hole course was created by Waterbury native Arthur Fenn and was well received by both men and women golfers who played regularly at the local course. By 1899, the Waterbury Golf Association had already been formed and less than a decade later would evolve into The Country Club of Waterbury.
Also in 1899, a 26 year old Scottish immigrant arrived in America and took up residence near Boston — his name was Donald J. Ross. By early 1907, the club had incorporated and the founding members commenced planning for a new course on 200 acres of pasture along the western end of Waterbury. In 1927, the club hired noted golf architect Donald Ross to develop a first-class 18-hole layout on a combination of existing and newly acquired land. The new Ross course opened for play on Saturday, September 15, 1928, and has become a cornerstone for the tradition of this club.

The experience was great . I haven't been on the course since 1964.The greens are by far the best around fast and undulating. Charlie(Pop) Baskin would be proud.A lot of Forestry has been cleared but,"You Know it Aint Easy"

I was invited by a member to play. We played in the afternoon after the members' Father's Day outing. We had the course almost to ourselves, so we played quickly. The holes were interesting and some very challenging. I did not my have SkyCaddie with me - accidently left it home - and know that it would have helped me on several holes. Playing with a member, who gave me general yardages, helped but I was lost a lot. Greens were much faster than south Florida - too many 3 puts killed my score - 100.
Overall, a good experience and I love Donald Ross courses!
