The club, upon taking possession of the property, engaged Warren Dickinson to draw up plans for the 9 hole golf course. The year of 1922 was and active one, the golf course, fairways and greens were built with men, teams of horses , slip scrapers and dynamite, the latter used to blow out trees, our lease provided that no live evergreen could be damaged. Fairways were seeded and greens were sown, however, the season was over that year before we could play the course. 1923 saw the opening of the club.
