The course opened back when Spring Hill was a fledgling retirement community, Spring Hill Golf and Country Club, quickly became one of the region's best-known courses. Membership was strong, and the course hosted local golf tournaments yearly.

In the early 1980s Canadian-based Lemkco Florida Inc., purchased the course. The course continued to do well until the economy meltdown in the late 2000's. In 2010, the course was closed citing financial reasons.

Roger Thompson, took over the facility in January 2010 and closed it a year and a half later because of what he called a contract dispute with facility's owners. For a time it looked that Thompson would be able to re-open the course as he had planned, however the course remains closed.
