Our children also enjoyed many a snow day sledding off the back of the clubhouse with Mrs. Gottscho, who was quite the daredevil. Our kids were also introduced to tennis on the lovely grass courts there. We eventually joined Roxiticus, and very much enjoyed being members there. SHCC
is a beautiful place to play, and a wonderful environment after golf.

He was only 6 weeks old when the current clubhouse opened in 1918!! He spoke so highly of many of the members and also some of the professional golfers he met. He was so proud to work at SHCC. Many special moments there as a kid and also an adult – and who can forget the July 4th fireworks!
