The following year, members started creating a golf course originally consisting of six "links."

[3][4] Due to the popularity of the sport, three more "links" were added by end of the year.

"[3][2] During the year, according to The Boston Globe, the club also "expended" thousands of dollars to improve the golf course, in particular with draining.

In October 1900, it was reported by the Boston Evening Transcript that the legendary British golfer Harry Vardon would play exhibition matches at Vesper.

[8] As of 1903, Vesper was hosting tournaments for the Massachusetts Golf Association (MGA).

[9] During the era, the MGA decided to hold the inaugural Massachusetts Open at Vesper.

[10][4] At the 1905 event, during the third round, Scottish-born professional Donald Ross shot a 77, the "best score of the morning," to tie A.G. Lockwood for the lead.

[2] Vesper commissioned the architecture firm J. William Beal's Sons to build a new one.

[4] Roughly a decade later, in the spring of 1936, there was the northeastern United States flood crisis.

The bridge connecting Vesper to mainland was destroyed and the fairways were "ruined."

[16] In the late 20th century, Vesper has hosted some notable professional tournaments.

During the tournament, former PGA Tour pro Jeff Lewis shot a 65 breaking the course record.

In the early 21st century, members voted to redesign the course, electing to restore the bunkers to Ross' original design and ensuring that the greens corresponded to modern USGA rules.

In 2011, Vesper was voted one of the top 100 "Classic Courses" in the United States by Golfweek.
