Golf Course Information
Description
1948
John and Terry Palmer Purchase 150 acre Laurel Hill Farm on Holland Rd. Fiskdale, Ma. They raise cattle, and the farm produced about 1500 bails of hay a year. In the years that followed John worked as a stone and brick mason, while tending the farm.
1962
John with the help of his 2 older sons Marc and Joe, his younger sons Ward and Kevin and his brother-in-law Arthur, began work on the golf course on weekends. John worked weekdays as a mason. The only piece of equipment they had was a small "previously owned" John Deere tractor. The architect hired for the design on the course was Philip Logan.
1971
Hemlock Ridge Golf Course opened its 9-hole course for walking golfers only. All operations for the course were conducted from the barn at the homestead. The only parking was on the front lawn. Many of the original Hemlockers remember seeing John and family haying along fairways 4 and 6 during those early ears in order to further open up the fairways.
