the country club at brookline

No. The Country Club at Brookline was strictly a club. It was the 1st 'country Club." They didnt start playing Golf at Brookline until 1892. So its definitely not the first golf "course."

AnswerOakhurst Links in White Sulpher Springs, WV is the oldest golf course in the United States built in 1884. Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club is the Oldest in North America. The Country Club, located in Brookline, Massachusetts, is the oldest country club in the United States, however did not have a golf course until 1893. Manchester Club in Mandeville, Jamaica is the Western Hemisphere's oldest golf course built in 1868.

A lot has changed over the past 100 years or so in professional and amateur golf. One of the newest developments in the game is the advent of what's known as The Starter Coin. The Starter Coin has effectively changed the way that honors is selected on the first tee box. Where the archaic method required flipping a tee several times to decide golfing order, the Starter Coin determines golfing order in one flip. If you haven't seen one in use yet, it probably won't be long if you golf regularly. It's a much more accurate and fair method of starting the game, which is important considering golf has always depended heavily on etiquette and integrity.
