Entrepreneur Cesar Ruiz Acquires Wyckoff Country Club

HOLYOKE — Businessman and entrepreneur Cesar Ruiz has acquired the Wyckoff Country Club in Holyoke for $2.8 million.

The 109-acre property, which includes an 18-hole golf course and clubhouse, including the Daniel Ross Course restaurant, will remain a country club and golf course under Ruiz’s ownership. The restaurant and clubhouse will undergo an approximately $250,000 modernization and renovation. New golf carts will also be acquired, replacing the existing fleet.

“I am thrilled to announce the acquisition of Wyckoff Country Club, a cherished landmark in Holyoke,” Ruiz said. “This 120-acre gem will continue its legacy as a premier country club and vibrant social hub. I look forward to working with the community in Wyckoff’s next growth phase.”

The new Wyckoff is projected to generate jobs and attract existing and new members annually to the once-thriving course. Ruiz said he views the redevelopment of Wyckoff as a complement to an Olympic-styled sports corridor in Holyoke that he envisions with volleyball as a centerpiece. The Wyckoff property will not be used to house or host any of the non-golf sporting activities and facilities. The present staff will remain.
