Old Wollaston Golf Club

A golfer attempts to putt the eighteenth-hole green at the old Wollaston Golf Course (now known as Presidents Golf Course) as a boy holds the hole’s striped pin in 1950. Several caddies kneel in the foreground as other club members look on, with the nearby clubhouse seen in the background. The Wollaston Golf Club was organized in 1895 on a part of the old Evans Dairy Farm, between Granite Avenue and the Quincy border, an area referred to as “Bellevue.” Laid out as a nine-hole course, within five years it was expanded to eighteen holes. The clubhouse was built in 1908. Today, the Wollaston Golf Club is located on a portion of “Home Farm,” the former estate of Henry S. Russell off Randolph Avenue.
