Massachusetts Senior Am: Day One Recap -

“A growing population paired with golf’s booming appeal called for an upgrade of GE’s golf course. The original layout, described by Roger O’Gara in The Berkshire Eagle, “wasn’t much more than a pitch and putt affair, with the putting surfaces none too smooth.”

By 1956, golf was now considered a major American sport, and so the GEAA called upon Middleton and Colonel Rowland Armacost, former golf professional at Wahconah Country Club, to design a more formal nine-hole, 3,000-yard layout. Armacost, formally recognized as the course architect, designed and expanded several other area courses, including Waubeeka Golf Links, just up Route 7, a decade later.

The course opened for play in 1957 and adopted a membership model similar to that of many British golf clubs. Only members of the GEAA were able to enroll as members of the golf course, but higher-priced, daily green fees were accepted to help support course operations.

With a proper 9-hole course, rifle club, baseball teams, tennis, pools, and recreation halls, General Electric boasted one of the most robust collections of employee offerings in the state. As O’Gara put it, “with the addition of the golf course, it’s likely that the GEAA has the finest recreational setup in the state of Massachusetts.”
