Overview
Wee Burn Country Club got its name from Andrew Carnegie, of all people, who suggested that the stony brook that weaves throughout the course should merit the name Wee Burn, as it would've been called in Scotland. The name stuck, and Devereux Emmet routed the course artfully around that burn. Wee Burn has removed a significant amount of trees in recenet years, amplifying its already pristine conditioning and allowing the course to play closer to its original intent. Wee Burn presents the golfer with plenty of scoring opportunities if they execute their shots correctly, providing for a difficult, yet enjoyable challenge.

“Quintessential Northeast country club that plays tougher than you'd imagine. Rough is quite thick and there is significant elevation change on a handful of holes."

“Immaculate conditioning thanks to skilled staff and a sub-air system. A good test for the golfer with many holes built up, down, and on the side of hills offering uneven lies. I enjoyed the variety of green side settings and sloping."
