ABOUT COUNTRY CLUB OF NEW BEDFORD
North Dartmouth, MA | The Country Club of New Bedford has had a rich history since its incorporation at its current location in 1902. Tradition comes in many forms at the Country Club of New Bedford, not the least of which is the Annual August Four-Ball Invitational Tournament. A weeklong 6-round member- guest competition with 64 teams, this tournament has attracted quality players from around the country over the years. Billed as the oldest continuously played Four-Ball in the nation, it was first played as such in August 1927. Our Four-Ball remains one of New England's most prestigious amateur golf tournaments. The Women’s Golf Association of the Country Club of New Bedford began their own August Invitational Four-Ball in 1979 with 32 teams participating. This 5 Day tournament was a milestone for women golfers, not only in this area but throughout New England. The Country Club of New Bedford Women’s Invitational Four-Ball Tournament continues to be the leading tournament event of its kind in the region.
