About Watertown Country Club

Club History

Watertown Country Club is a private 18 hole golf facility which was organized in 1922. Play began on the front nine in 1923. Construction of the back nine, designed by Larry Packard, began in 1959. Silver Creek meanders through the course and can come into play on more than half of the holes. Small greens with slight nuances prove to be challenging.

The club provides members and their families with quality golf and fine dining. Because golf is the major focus of the club, numerous golf events are planned for men, women, couples, and juniors. The clubhouse offers a lunch and dinner menu for members and their guests, and banquet services for weddings, anniversaries, special family celebrations and other member sponsored meetings or corporate events.
A Short History of the Course

The Watertown Country club was organized when eighty-two people signed its articles at the first meeting June 3, 1922. The president was local attorney, William H. Woodard.

Over fifty acres of farmland north of the city were purchased from Gustavus Austin. The property included a house, barn, and shed. Electricity, a telephone, and furnishings were installed in the farmhouse, which became the clubhouse. The barn housed the course maintenance equipment.

The entire farmland was plowed and earth moved to create the course. A watering system for the greens was installed in 1923 when the course opened for play. A full-time greenkeeper, John Stiemke, was employed in the 1930's. By 1941 the 100 member roster was full. A new clubhouse was approved in 1949 and opened the following spring. The clubhouse was further expanded in 1955,1966, 1980-81, and in 1994

The long time dream of an 18 hole course became reality when the second nine holes designed by Larry Packard were opened in 1961 on a 70 acre site that had been owned by Edwin Hinze. During the next several years a full sprinkler system was installed over the entire course. This was up-dated to a double sprinkler system in 1998.

Several major changes have been made to the course over the years. The #1 tee is in its third location. Three towering trees in the middle of #5 fairway were removed as was a huge tree in the middle of #6 fairway. The original #9 was very short and was lengthened later. The shape of the replacement green and its traps are now in the third configuration. The course of the creek along #10 fairway was changed to widen the fairway and make it more level.
