New Beginnings

As you enjoy the Green Hill of today, a most interesting history lives on. In 1925, a group of 25 men purchased the land from Mr. Harry Jones for $10,000 with the plan of building a 9-hole golf course. The name of Green Hill Country Club was chosen, and Mr. John K. Gunby became its first president. He officially opened the course in May of 1927, although men and women had played here for over a year prior to this date. In May of 1928, the clubhouse was completed at a cost of another $10,000 and put into use by the membership for 100 persons. Dues at this time were $100.00 annually for the gentlemen and $50.00 for ladies. They have increased a little since then.
