About The Kittansett Club 
The Kittansett Club, appropriately named from two Native American words meaning “near the sea,” is situated in the town of Marion at the end of Butler Point, which extends into Buzzards Bay. A club was formed and the 18-hole golf course was built with play beginning in 1923. Kittansett was one of the first courses to be built with predetermined specifications. Several experts had been consulted regarding the course layout, including Donald Ross and William Flynn, but it was founding member Frederic C. Hood who undertook the actual construction of the course based on his considerable knowledge of American and British golf courses of that day. 

During its memorable history Kittansett has hosted several Massachusetts Golf Association championships over the years. These include the Massachusetts Amateur Championship in 1958, 1978, 1990, 1999, 2008 and 2020 and the WGAM Edith Noblit Baker Trophy in 1954, 1979, 1989, 1995, 2005 and 2015. The most prestigious event hosted by Kittansett was the 1953 Walker Cup when the United States defeated Great Britain & Ireland 9 to 3. 

Since the 1990s the course has gone through a series of redesigns by Gil Hanse, who has been a longstanding consultant with respect to restoration, improvements, and renovations of Kittansett. It is now a much more open course, the sea is visible from many more holes, and the wind has become a significant factor in course management. With its spectacular views and challenging golf, a round at Kittansett is a truly memorable experience.
