McCall Golf & Country Club

Golf caught on like wild fire at McCall and in 1920 two adjacent tracts of land were purchased with the express purpose of adding a new nine-hole course. This new nine-hole course was to be designed by William Flynn, another noted golf course designer. The Flynn nine was a mixture of par 3s and short par 4s, none stretching to 370 yards and was opened for play in 1923. With two nine-hole layouts in place and with subsequent land purchases the “formal” course was extended to 15 holes in 1928 and ultimately to an 18-hole course in 1935. Eighteen holes of strategically intriguing golf rolling across just 4,600 yards of tumultuous landscape with tiny, sophisticated greens, most framed with bunkers, and a series of flirtations with Cobbs Creek to make things even more interesting. The course now is 4,469 yards from the tips; par 66; 63.3 rating – making precision absolutely paramount; miss a green and your score can add up quickly. It is no fluke that 13 winners of club championship at other clubs first tempered their games on McCall’s exacting crucible.
