The History of The Augusta Country Club |

ACC Management | Our Staff | History
In 1916, a group of prominent Augusta men, headed by Guy Gannett, Percy V. Hill, and Walter S. Wyman, believed that
Augusta should have a golf course and country club and, on June 30 of that year, met and formed the Augusta Golf
Company. They bought the Brainyard Farm, including the building which is the present home of the Greenskeeper and
53 acres of land north of the Augusta-Winthrop highway. During the summer of that year, a nine-hole golf course was
laid out on this farm.
In 1917, the Augusta Golf Company acquired the Hammond Homestead, a set of buildings consisting of a farm house and
ell and a barn with vehicle stalls, together with land extending to the lake shore, and including the present bathing
beach. The farm house was converted into a dining room and kitchen, and the barn was fitted up as a men's locker room.
At about the same time in 1916 that the Augusta Golf Company was formed, the Augusta Country Club was also organized as
a State chartered non-profit corporation and in 1917 all property of the Golf Company was leased to the Country Club
for them to operate. The two organizations exist today - one owning the real estate; the other owning the equipment and
operating and maintaining the property as a country club.
