About Us:
Old Elm Club is an exclusive club with 200 members designed by famed Golf Course architect Harry Colt and constructed by Donald Ross. Old Elm Club is the only project the two noted architects ever collaborated on. Beginning in 2010 the membership and staff have undertaken an extensive restoration of the Golf Course to return it to Colt’s original vision. This restoration has included a full bunker restoration, new state of the art irrigation system and both green and fairway expansions. The restoration is an ongoing project with more fairway expansions, bunker renovations, along with the addition of a 6-hole short course and driving range.
