Conestoga Country Club was founded in 1948. During the ensuing years, our club has
gained a reputation as an exceptional facility where individuals and families can enjoy recreational
activities and social events. The Club provides excellent opportunities for people to make new
friends and create lifetime relationships.
IDEAL LOCATION
Conestoga Country Club is easily accessible from Routes 30 or 462. The Club is located at 1950
Stone Mill Road. The Conestoga creek winds through the beautiful tree-lined fairways.
MAGNIFICENT GOLF COURSE
Our scenic 6,288 yard, par 70, 18 hole golf course provides both beginners and experienced golfers
with a marvelous golf challenge. The course has plush fairways and some of the best greens in the
county; it is well balanced with very tight fairways, wooded areas, traps, and a creek for a water
hazard. Following course play, one may enjoy a warm, relaxing shower in the appropriate men’s or
ladies’ locker rooms, and enjoy a cool, refreshing drink in the Pub, on the Deck or in the 19th Hole.
A CONDENSED HISTORY OF CONESTOGA COUNTRY CLUB
It all began around 1933 at the Overlook Public Golf Course. Thirty of the regular members got
together and obtained a charter as a non-profit corporation with the name Overlook Country Club,
which would later be changed to Conestoga Country Club in 1946. This charter allowed Overlook to
enter regional and statewide events with the distinction of a country club name. Dues were one
dollar per year. After several years, the Overlook Public Golf Course owner announced his intentions
to sell the course. He offered the Overlook Country Club an option which was never acted upon. It
did, however, encourage a vision for the future; a vision which would eventually become Conestoga
Country Club.
Lacking sufficient funds, the group investigated business opportunities. They decided to build a
much-needed bowling facility. Twenty-two, first class bowling alleys would cost $45,000, which was
much less than the cost of a golf course. This was a substantial investment for a handful of golfers.
To get things started, each member raised $100 each. Notes were issued by the club and
eventually it raised $10,000 that was used as a down payment. lt rented the third floor of a
downtown building and went into business as Overlook Recreational Center. By 1947, the alleys
were paid for, and they produced a dependable net income of $10,000 per year. Clair Alexander,
then president, was responsible for locating a proper site for a country club golf course. Following
an extensive search, he found and obtained a 97 acre farm (plus two parcels) that became
Conestoga Country Club. The property cost $34,000, and the club only had one-third of the money.
A new issue of notes was offered to members, relatives and friends. Members began reducing the
gross cost of the property by harvesting and selling the standing crops. They sold one of the two
farm-houses, a barn, and a tobacco shed. They also sold a few building lots to insulate the course
from a bordering public road. ln the end, they had 118 acres at a net cost of$11,000. The sale of
notes was disappointing, raising only $44,000 (the largest single investment was $3,000). ln those
days, architects required $100,000 to lay out golf courses. A worried delegation contacted William
1|Page
Gordon, a well known golf architect, and explained the situation. The members asked if he would
lay out the course, and stated that they would build it themselves. He agreed and proceeded at a
reduced fee. Members began the work using a truck (so ancient that a dealer gave it to them), a
tractor (which cost them $50 at a junk yard), and a supply of saw and axes. They borrowed a plow
and a disc harrow from neighboring farmers. They removed over 2,000 trees from along the creek.
They worked for free, putting in long hours. Charles Dyer and Ollie Frey, at about 600 hours each,
no doubt put in the most time. By the middle of 1953, it seemed that Conestoga had it made. Then
in September of that year, their bowling center, (and the income on which they were relying to build
a clubhouse), was completely destroyed by fire. Fortunately, it was covered by insurance, and they
recovered $70,000. Opening Day for Conestoga was June 20, 1948. And today, the heritage lives
on.
