The Bay Pointe Club, originally known as Wareham Country Club, was established in 1964 and operated until 1988. This was also the year that the Pavilion building was completed, as well as the year that the iconic 7th hole island green was built. At the present time, the Bay Pointe Club offers a unique collection of 18 championship golf holes designed by Geoffrey Cornish, a beautiful banquet facility, and a clubhouse that includes a well-stocked pro shop, a terrace serving area, and a covered, heated outdoor dining area located at the pavilion building. The course, which is rated 70.9 and slopes 122 from the back tees, is designed to be played at a par of 70 for men. The total yardage on the card (6201 from Blue Tees) appears to be quite small, but it turns out to be somewhat longer in practice. It is a par 72, 5,380 yard course that the ladies must contend with while playing from the red tees. The topography is mostly pleasant, with the exception of holes #1 and #2, which present a challenge to golfers who begin their round on the most hilly region of the grounds. The Bay Pointe Club does not use temporary greens under any circumstances. We have a sandy base soil that provides for excellent drainage for off-season golf, making us a perfect winter golf retreat destination. The Bay Pointe Club is only a few minutes away from the picturesque old hamlet of Onset and the sandy sands of Onset Bay, making it an ideal location for a relaxing getaway.
