In 1916, a nine
hole course was built on the original land purchase now occupied by holes
numbered 13-18. The 16th was the first hole, and the Swan residence behind
the hole was built as the original clubhouse. Additional land was assembled
on the west side of Parker Road and north of West Bay Road and in 1919,
Donald Ross was hired to redesign the original nine and to create a new
nine. In 1922, $9,450 was appropriated to build a new clubhouse at the
present site, and the former clubhouse was sold for $8,900 with the proviso
that all of the plumbing be removed for use in the new clubhouse. The course
was almost closed during WWII, but stayed open and provided half-price
recreation for Cape based servicemen. The new clubhouse was opened in August
of 1983. |
