Phil Wogan Course Architect Candia Woods-

Golf Links Course Opened 1964
From birth Phil Wogan’s life was steeped in golf. His father is credited with founding the New England PGA and, as a long time member of the design team, worked directly with famed course architect Donald Ross.
In 1957 Wogan succeeded his father, Eugene “Skip”, as superintendent and tournament director at Essex County Club in Manchester, Massachusetts. Throughout his time at Essex he designed several New England courses including Candia Woods.
In 1985 he left the club to pursue full time his passion for course architecture. He continued his practice until shortly prior to his death on January 15, 2010.
Mr. Wogan designed some 40 courses throughout New England including: The Country Club of Halifax, Pembroke Country Club, and The Bar Harbor Club.
Throughout his career he was praised for designing “player-friendly” courses… certainly apparent at Candia Woods.
An Army veteran of World War II, Phil Wogan received the Bronze Star for service at the Battle of the Bulge.



William Bradley Booth - Course Designer at The Oaks:

Back when he was in junior high, William Bradley Booth, the designer of The Oaks, knew that he wanted to become a golf course architect. Eventually, that led him to study at the Harvard graduate school of design and to earning his undergraduate degree in planning.
A resident of Ogunquit, Maine, Booth has since designed more than 35 courses mostly in the Northeast. He has emerged as one of New England's most prominent and sought-after designers.

A few years ago, Brad Booth teamed up with PGA pro Brad Faxon to design a second course at Newport National Golf Club in Rhode Island, and, in 2002, the two Brads created The Bay Club in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.

Brad calls golf course design "an art form, unique in that it is performed on a huge canvas of land, shaped to accommodate a game played by people with varying degrees of skill, aptitude and fortitude."

He tries to create a "memorable golf course that has personality and that elevates the golfers' appreciation of the game, the course and its surroundings."

Brad's work at The Oaks Golf Links certainly reflects his philosophy. The course he has created is challenging but also takes care to preserve the beauty of the surround­ ing trees and landscape.
