History of RFGC
River Falls Wisconsin joined the ranks of the leisure golfers in
1929. As an early history notes: "In 1929, many things happened.
The stock market crashed, Herbert Hoover was elected president,
the New York Yankees won the World Series again, and
construction of the River Falls Golf Course began."
The Articles of Association were filed with the Department of
State on April 16, 1929, indicating that it preceded all the
other events mentioned. The course was formed by a group of
local men who were playing golf at other courses and decided
that it was time to build their own. They bought 46 acres of
land on the bluff on the northeast side of the city, paying
$4,000. And so, the 9 hole, 3,000 yard public course became
reality.
The original clubhouse was a small building with no running
water, located on the north side of the property. The course was
then, and is now, reached by a winding road rising from County
Road MM. The road has been relocated since 1929, but you still
would have no idea the course was there if the sign at the
bottom of the hill didn't tell you.
In 1955, after much discussion, grass greens became a reality
and in 1960 the membership appointed a committee to look into
the feasibility of building a new clubhouse. By 1962 there was a
new clubhouse and by 1970 a kitchen and dining room had been
added. There were storage and locker rooms on the lower level,
an office area, a pro shop, bar room, and eating space on the
main floor. An additional dining room was added in 1990.
Discussion during the early 60's also included adding holes to
the course and by the end of the decade, nine new holes existed.
There were some changes in the existing holes as well. The
layout as it is today has changed very little from the design in
the 60's. A combination of designers from 1929 to the present
has combined to establish a very fine club, which offers a wide
variety of challenges and spectacular vistas.
Today the club is growing in membership every year. The members
are supportive and can often be found volunteering to help with
projects on the course or in the clubhouse. It's healthy and
should continue to grow as long as there are golfers.
