Approximately thirty more acres were added to make the nine hole course. In 1942 a group of men raised $3000 to purchase greens from a private club in Princeton Illinois. As in the early days the members did the work themselves, moving the greens from Princeton to replace the sand greens at the club. The greens were ready for play at the beginning of the 1943 season.

This short and narrow course is highlighted by the mature trees lining its fairways. The greens are small, and the fairways are well maintained. The course plays to a par-35 and maximum 9-hole distance of 2,680 yards.
