271 – Arrowhead Country Club
I had a feeling no-one would know this one… it’s the first hole at Arrowhead Country Club.
In the spring of 1957, the idea of a country club was first conceived. The first formal organization meeting was held April 1, 1958. A constitution and by-laws were adopted and the first slate of officers elected. Membership reached 176 in May, 1958, and in June a golf course architect was hired.
In the summer of 1959, a golf course construction company was employed to build the first nine holes at a cost of $32,000. The work was finished in July, 1960. The greens and fairways were then planted and sowed. Roy McIntyre was hired as greenskeeper in the spring of 1961, and play began in June. [...] The second nine holes were completed in 1971.

I knew which courses it wasn’t but that left too many possibilities it could be. Not one I’ve been to.

I admit that I threw out a big curve ball, but at least I can’t be blamed for putting up easy ones all the time.
It’s a nice course – I’m not a member and haven’t played the course for many years, but I did play several High School golf matches here back in the day.
