Squaw Creek Golf Course

In 1969, the land on which Squaw Creek Golf Course now sits was gifted to the General Dynamics Recreation Association. The land on which the club house and maintenance barn now sit were purchased by GDRA. The golf course and accompanying structures were built for $1,126,215. Fred Chambers, Lawrence Armstrong, C.J. Hall, and Ralph Plummer were instrumental forces in having the golf course constructed. This undated photo shows the ground breaking ceremony at Squaw Creek. I wonder how much digging these guys did with their suits on.

On April 17, 1971, Frank Davis, then vice President and General Manager of General Dynamics Fort Worth Division, officially opened Squaw Creek Golf Course under the umbrella of GDRA, by teeing off on #1 tee. When the course opened in 1971, green fees for employees were $2.00 during the week and $3.00 on the weekends. Cart rentals were $3.00 for 9 holes and $6.00 for 18.
