The original 9 holes as the course exists now, were designed by Arthur Lockwood in 1916 and the second 9 holes, designed by Herbert Strong, opened in 1925. Although the course is only 5602 yards from the back, it can be quite a challenge with its undulating fairways and small greens.

The course used to be a kind of “hidden gem”, but has recently come to the forefront in the area and has seen a large increase in public play. The club is interesting in that it provides golf services only. We have a healthy membership who are open to making capital investments to improve the golf course. This winter we have been updating some equipment and have also installed a central irrigation controller and updated all irrigation satellites as well.
