http://www.plyccma.com/club/scripts/public/public.asp?NS=PUBLICPLYMOUTH COUNTRY CLUB was organized and incorporated in April 1910. The initial course consisted of a nine hole layout with three holes located on the ocean side of Warren Avenue and six holes in the area of what is now Bay Colony Drive and our current first three holes. At a member’s (Judge Harry Davis) suggestion, the Club developed three new holes to the west of Warren Avenue; creating the new nine for members and leaving the three ocean side holes for beginners and hotel guests. The ocean side holes were abandoned in 1913 due to lack of play. A second nine was designed by the noted Scottish architect, Donald Ross, and it opened officially on July 21, 1921. The original nine paled in comparison to the new Ross nine and the Club members called upon Ross to provide them with a third nine to equal or exceed his 1921 offering. Ross assumed the role of on-sight contractor and nursed his gem into a New England treasure. The new nine opened in 1929 and the Club was now 27 holes.
The members decided to operate their private eighteen and lease the original nine holes to the local golf pro, Donald Vinton. The Great Depression was not kind and by 1932 the public nine had gone into bankruptcy. Further changes to the course include:
- Abandonment of three holes near Doten Road.
- Replacement of the holes where the present first three holes now exists.
- The shortening of the second hole from a par 5 to a par 4 due to road construction in 1950 resulting in the present par 69 layout.
