Plymouth Country club was founded in 1908 and charted in 1909. The initial course was a nine hole layout with three holes located on the easterly side of Warren Avenue and the other six in the area of what is now Bay Colony Drive and our current first four holes. The clubhouse was a pavilion which sat on the bluffs overlooking Massachusetts Bay. In 1920, nine more holes were designed by the noted Scottish architect Donald Ross. In 1926, a new clubhouse was built in its present location and again Donald Ross laid out another nine holes which is our "back side" today. Around 1939 when William Cotter was the pro at P.C.C., nine holes were abandoned and converted to house lots. During the winter of 1966-1967, the membership installed the first watering system and in December of 1978 purchased the club from the Hornblower family.

Plymouth Country Club has produced two world famous golfers. Henry Picard, a Plymouth native won many PGA Tour events including the Masters and the PGA, and Joanne Goodwin, the dominant woman player of the 1950's and 1960's who was a member of the United States Curtis Cup team, a finalist in the U.S. Woman's Amateur Championship and Massachusetts Women's Amateur Champion.

Donald Vinton won the Massachusetts Open Championship as Head Professional at Plymouth Country Club while Bill Buttner, a two time Hornblower winner became a touring professional.

In the past thirty years Plymouth Country Club has been host to many of the areas most prestigious competitions involving the finest golfers from the northeast. The Hornblower Memorial, Southeastern Amateur Championship, Massachusetts Amateur Qualifying, New England PGA, and Massachusetts Women's Golf Association are some of the events that have graced our golf course.

In 1995, Plymouth Country Club joined the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program in order to protect natural resources for the benefit of people, wildlife, and the game of golf. The Golf Program, of which P.C.C. is part, is a nationwide network of conservation partnerships that includes Backyards, Schools, Corporate & Business Properties, and Golf Courses. It is administered by Audubon International, a non-profit environmental organization that specializes in sustainable natural resource management. In February of 1999, Plymouth Country Club achieved designation as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS), the educational division of Audubon International, endorsed by the United States Golf Association. Plymouth Country Club is the third in Massachusetts and the 160th course in the world to receive the honor.
