Our Heritage

Our golf course began as a dream of professors at Yerkes Observatory and the YMCA staff of the George Williams College. Six holes were laid out by Dr. James Naismith (who also invented basketball) as a summer diversion for the busy gentleman. By 1906, there were nine holes open to the public and by 1918, the course had expanded to 18 holes through a gift by S.B. Chapin. The Gramley Clubhouse was built and dedicated in 1929.

Our Mission

To provide an enjoyable and affordable experience, with friends and family experiencing time together in the beautiful outdoors, while encouraging the sport of golf in a relaxed, fun and non-competitive environment.
