About Charles River
Located 10 miles west of downtown Boston on the east bank of the Charles River, the club’s 18-hole golf course was designed by Donald Ross and opened for play in 1921.
In the mid-1990s, Ron Pritchard led a restoration of the course to its original characteristics, removing a significant number of trees, reconstructing bunkers and returning the greens to their original sizes.
Recently, the club concluded an extensive renovation of its bunkers and surrounds under the supervision of Eric Iverson.
Among some of Charles River Country Club’s early bond-holding members were 1913 U.S. Open champion Francis Ouimet and his caddie Eddie Lowery.
Ouimet was the club’s first honorary member and remained a member until his death in 1967, while Lowery, an accomplished amateur in his own right, was a two-time club champion (1933 and 1936) and won the 1927 Massachusetts Amateur held at Charles River.
Marion Maney-McInerney, the 1992 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur champion, was also a member at the club.
In addition to her USGA title, Maney-McInerney won the 1987 Massachusetts Women’s Amateur and the 1992 Mass Women’s Open.
