Built in 1920, Klinger Lake Country Club has a
rich golf history. The golf course began as a
nine-hole layout and the back nine was added ten
years later. Golf legend Chick Evans established
the first course record of 73 in 1921. During
the 1940's, touring professionals, Ben Hogan,
Jimmy Demaret, Louise Suggs and Byron Nelson all
played here. Former KLCC Golf Professional Norm
Collins holds the current course record of 63.
A typical course (public or private) will play
22,000 to 40,000 rounds a year. However, KLCC
plays about 9,000 rounds per year, which is very
low for an 18-hole facility. This means that it
is very easy to get on the course. Tee times are
accepted up to 1 week in advance but reservations
are rarely necessary. The PGA Professional and
his staff conduct an extensive tournament schedule
for members, with over 30 events to participate
in. |
