Established as a social and athletic club in 1893, the Maugus Club is nearly as old as the town itself. Members enjoy badminton, squash, softball squash, North American hardball courts and six candlepin bowling lanes. Bowling lanes are available to the public upon appointment. The club is home to Nick's Olympic Wrestling School and named after an Indian Chief named John Maugus who once owned most of the land associated with the town of Wellesley. There is a $200 initiation fee, and additional charges apply after that.
