Utilizing classical design, the course at Hopkinton Country Club was redesigned in 2002 to create a par 71, 6711 yard Championship golf course with a slope rating of 136 from the blue tees. The renovations at Hopkinton Country Club were directed by Welsh Golf Course Architect Ian Scott-Taylor. Ian’s goal for Hopkinton Country Clubwas to create an old-world golf course, where strategy plays a key role in the golfers shot selection. The critics agree that this mission has been accomplished. In a recent article in the Boston Globe, Jim McCabe called the course “…a throwback to an era of course design rarely seen today.”
