Our club was originally chartered in the year 1912 as Glen Garden Golf and Country Club, with land acquired from Mr. H.H. Cobb of the O.K. Cattle Company. A nine hole golf course with sand greens was constructed, with another nine holes added some year or two later. There was a conversion to bermuda grass greens in 1925, which continued in 1926, which continued until 1957 when bent grass was initiated. In 1978 we converted to our TIFF328 Bermuda Greens. In the very early days of our club, members came by horse and buggy, or in the evenings by use of the Cleburne interurban, alighting at Wichita Street and walking about six blocks to the club where a board walk was built on the east side of the club to span a creek. In the depression years, 1930 - 1936, the club came into financial difficulties which required refinancing and reorganizing, resulting in the dissolution of the old corporation known as Glen Garden Golf and Country Club and the creation of a new charter for the president club, Glen Garden Golf & Country Club.
