The course was designed in 1958 by renowned golf course architect, Bob Baldock. Bob described the location as "the best golf course property he had ever seen." The course was built by a group of Lone Pine volunteers and opened in 1959. The course lived up to Bob's expectations and is still know as "the most scenic 9 hole golf course in America."
