Our History and Development

Framed in our bar area is the original copy of the Articles of Association for the Platteville Country Club, filed with the State of Wisconsin on February 28, 1921. From 1921 to 1956, the club rented 80 acres of land on which the original nine-hole layout was developed, along with a small clubhouse. Interestingly, there was an active mine located on the site of our present tennis courts until sometime in the 1950s. We are currently seeking any information on how the club/course was developed and managed during these early years, as older written records are unavailable prior to 1956 and pictures are limited.

On February 16, 1956, the Articles of Incorporation were officially granted by the State of Wisconsin for the formation of the Platteville Golf and Country Club. The three co-signers of these Articles were John Horne, Paul B. Cardin, and John Caton. The first organization meeting of the club was held at the Council Chamber of the Platteville Municipal building at 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, February 23, 1956, with 35 members present. The newly formed Board of Directors budgeted $50,000 for the purchase of the land from Ethyl Crandit and the construction of a new clubhouse.

By 1958, the club's membership had grown to 173 members. Since these early years, there have been three major additions to the clubhouse built in 1956 and many alterations. The course has increased from a 9-hole layout (1921-1984) to a twelve-hole layout in 1984 when three holes were developed on land just south of the clubhouse. The final holes were developed on the 39.5 acres just west of Second Street in 1986. This land had been purchased in 1968 and placed in land bank or farmed until needed. As with many club projects, members provided many volunteer hours, and various services/equipment were provided at little or no cost. The new holes opened for play on July 1, 1986.

In 2005, the club bought an additional 23.5 acres just north of the clubhouse, bringing the total acreage to 143.5 acres. This purchase will allow for future expansion and development of the course and facilities.
