Wianno Club’s rather grand clubhouse was formerly Cotocheset House, built in 1882 on the site of an even grander hotel that burned down the previous year. Its interiors contain much original detail and the building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Memorable holes on the front nine (measuring 2,871 yards from the back tees) include the 2nd and 8th, which are separated on the same fairway by four crescent-shaped bunkers; the left doglegged short par four 7th, featuring one of many square-shaped greens on the course; and the 134-yard 9th, where the tee shot must carry the northeast corner of Parker Pond.
The car parking area next to the first tee on the golf course is actually 1.5 miles away from the clubhouse’s coastal position, located between Parker Pond and Neck Pond, so first time visitors should bear that in mind when travelling here.
