Golf Course Information

Description

Hafner obtained the services of golf architect Dave Millar to draw plans for the perspective course. Building of the fairways began on February 9, 1946 with Art Kohl of Bay Port Contracted to remove trees, blast out stumps, establish grades and prepare the land for seeding. Sturm & Eichler Tiling Co. were given the job of tiling the property.When Millar died very suddenly in July, Hafner came to the rescue by spending many days and weeks of his own time constructing the course.Over 47,000 feet of lumber was sold off the property, about 200 cords of wood was salvaged and sold  and 11,000 sticks of dynamite were needed to blow out the stumps, some 40-inches in diameter. When Fr. Hafner was called to another parish, Harry Leslie obtained the services of Mr. & Mrs. Ed Sherwood. Mr. Sherwood served as golf professional and greens keeper and took charge of the finishing of the greens and fairways as well as the construction of the watering system. Mrs. Sherwood later worked in the pro shop for many years.
