Plymouth Country Club is an 18-hole private golf course located in historic Plymouth, Massachusetts. PCC originally featured 27 holes when it was chartered in 1908 by the affluent Hornblower family. Nine of the 27 holes were later abandoned to make room for a new state highway (Route 3A) which runs along the South Shore of Massachusetts. Most of the remaining holes were later redesigned by world famous course architect Donald Ross. Today, PCC is owned by its 300+ members and is regarded as one of the finest courses in Massachusetts. PCC hosts the annual Hornblower Memorial tournament (now in its 5th decade), which draws some of the best amateur players from across New England and the Northeast. PCC, which overlooks Plymouth Bay, is located a few miles from Plymouth Rock, Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II near the junction of Route 3A and the Plimoth Plantation Highway. The membership waiting list is generally in the 6 month to 1 year area. This is a Donald Ross design.
Famous quotes containing the words plymouth, country and/or club:
“In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“City people make most of the fuss about the charms of country life.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Mi advise tu them who are about tu begin, in arnest, the jurney ov life, is tu take their harte in one hand and a club in the other.”
—Josh Billings [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818–1885)
