Originally a nine hole course and airstrip, though land for the course was bought in the 1920s, the first nine and the log clubhouse weren't built until 1935, with the aid of WPA funding. The Grand Opening Tournament was held on May 24, 1936. An additional nine were added in the 1960s, a third nine, the Mountain Nine, was completed on the south side of the highway in the early 1980s and the final nine of the South Course opened in 1994. Flooding on the final nine proved to be a problem, so, after another fours, the South Course opened for a second time in 1998.
Today the course remains an extremely popular and busy course, with both eighteens operating to capacity through the summer.
