Listowel only had 3000 residents back then and the club didn’t have a clubhouse until 7 years after it opened.
The course has seen dramatic growth over the years with the course doubling in size to 18 holes in 1989 and again to 27 hole course in 2001.
The course’s public member ownership ended in 2007 when the course was sold to construction company Gateman Milloy.
