Our History
In 1923, on area farmland, a six-hole golf course was installed atop the Wells College campus in Aurora, New York. Edward Hayton became the first groundskeeper and PGA professional in 1938.  In the 1960s, renowned golf architect Robert Trent Jones (husband of Wells alumna Ione Davis Jones ‘31) redesigned several of the holes.
