About Ould Newbury Golf Club:

Ould Newbury Golf Club, a nine hole semi-private club, located on Rte 1 in Newbury, Massachusetts, was officially opened for play on Labor Day, September 4, 1916.
Under the leadership of Benjamin Pearson, Dr. Charles S. Ingham and Joseph Dummer, 60 acres of land were leased from Governor Dummer Academy and in 1915, with a fund of $10,000 construction of the golf course began.
The first officers of Ould Newbury were Rev. Wilfred L. Hoopes, President, Fred M. Ambrose, Vice President, Henry Learned, Treasurer, and Henry F. Cole, Secretary. A Scottish architect/golfer, Jim Lowe, under whose direction the course was laid out and built, was the first professional at Ould Newbury. He was succeeded in 1935 by Peter Moran who was then followed in turn by Ralph Beach, John MacGregor, John MacDonald, Walt Greus, Alex Burns and our current professional Jim Hilton.
