Origins

Five Ely businessmen began pursuing a golf club in the late 1950s. After acquiring the site of a former prisoner-of-war camp and adjoining land, they cleared the property and established an original nine-hole layout designed by founder Charles Young.

Lee Trevino marked the 1973 18-hole opening year by defeating Hugh Baiocchi 66 to 67 in an exhibition match.
