History

of the Country Club and golf course...

The Hillsdale Golf and Country Club was formed in 1907 by Hillsdale citizens who contracted the Spaulding Company of Chicago, Illinois to design a nine-hole golf course. Scotland native Tome Bendelow laid out a very challenging design with emphasis on the short game. The 5,775 yard course has humbled many a fine golfer over the years. the clubhouse opened in 1910 and has been an institution in the area ever since.
