Originally opened in 1927, the course was built in the “GOLDEN AGE” of golf course design. Donald Ross is said to have designed the original 18-hole layout. Due to the financial struggles of the late 1920’s only the existing 9 holes were completed. 

The log cabin style clubhouse was built as a WPA project in the mid-1930’s and survives today as another reminder of times past.
