Golf Course Information

Description

Dreams of selling the Lakeland area as a vacation paradise go back many years. Men of vision journeying to the north in the early 1900's realized the potential of the area... and began the business of the promotion and selling of what we know today as The Minocqua Country Club.

In 1910 Vic Lamson of Fairfield, Iowa purchased the land known as The Minocqua Country Club Complex. Vic divided the property into 100 foot shoreline lots, and in 1911 the first private cottages were built. The golf course was designed in 1915 by CC. Clark and Hubert Howard. The clubhouse and the course were built and opened in 1916. O.E. Heisser of the Minocqua Heights Hotel Co. and a professional golf expert, J.J. Sturm of Chicago, were hired as instructor and director of the course in 1922. The Clubhouse was expanded to 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, adding a kitchen, lobby, lounge, and screened veranda and the first Clubhouse cottages were also built. The remodeled facility opened in July of 1923. It became a popular place with two major golf tournaments held each year.
