For those who’ve never been to The Shack, here’s a little history. The golf course was designed by the renowned Albert W. Tillinghast and opened in 1916, which means it is fast approaching its centennial anniversary! The Shack has been “home” to several well-known golfers who have served as head pros at the club, including Milton “Babe” Lichardus and Bobby Cruickshank.

Besides a gorgeous golf course, The Shack boasts a large clubhouse with banquet facilities, a pro shop, and al fresco dining. Construction is currently underway on a state-of-the-art, resort-style pool complex that is slated to open Memorial Day weekend of 2015. The finished complex will include an adult bar, cabanas, kid’s play area, locker room and snack shop. For more information visit http://shackamaxoncc.com.
