Golf

Nehoiden is a 5-minute walk from the main entrance of the college. The first tee is located at 91 Dover Road.  The best route is to take a left out of the College’s Washington Street intersection, and then take your first right onto Dover street. The entrance to the golf course is about a half-mile down the road.

Each current student needs an account in our Chronogolf database system. This will allow the student the ability to make their own tee time at Nehoiden. Tee times can be reserved 2 days in advance.

Setting up a Chronogolf account: Please email nehoiden@gmail.com and identify yourself as a Wellesley College student - providing name, email address, phone number and year of graduation and a photo of your student ID; please allow 24-48 hours to process your request. You will then receive an activation email from Chronogolf.  Once your account is activated, you may begin making tee times. Greens fees for students are free, but guests will be charged the current Nehoiden Guest Fees. We ask each student to add a credit card to their Chronogolf account for any guest fees incurred (see instructions on adding a credit card here.) To reserve a tee time, please follow these instructions, Booking a Tee Time.

Golf etiquette states that you should arrive 10 minutes before your tee time. Check-in at the starter shed next to the first tee (91 Dover St., across from Ingraham Road). Bring your student ID with you.

Nehoiden has a limited number of rental clubs available for students. There is no charge for the clubs.  Please let the starter know that you need to borrow clubs. Clubs need to be returned to the starter at the end of your round.

Yes, you can hit balls at the range or putt at the practice green. You may want to check the Course Calendar for any events that are happening on the course that may affect the availability of the practice areas. Check in with the starter at the starter shed on the 1st tee and they will provide tokens for the ball machine at the driving range. Please note that the driving range is limited to 165 yards. Do not try to drive balls into the creek, as that makes ball retrieval difficult for our staff.

Sporty, casual clothes and tennis shoes or rubber sole shoes are the best. No flip-flops, shoes with heels or torn clothing.

All available tee times can be viewed and booked through Chronogolf. You may want to check the Course Calendar for any events that are happening on the course that may affect play. We recommend that all of our members check Twitter and Facebook for weather and maintenance updates.
