History
The area of Willow Springs was developed by a local farmer and his wife in the early 1970's. Their vision included the construction of 18 holes of golf plus a clubhouse and pool, thereby creating a Country Club neighborhood for the homeowners to live, relax and play. However, as time passed, the plans for the Club never came to fruition, and the homeowners organized. A lawsuit ensued, and the Members won the land and golf course in the legal battle that was resolved in 1992.

From 1992 - 1997, the homeowners/Charter Members moved ahead with the plans for clubhouse construction, sold land on the north edge of the property to generate extra income (which resulted in a redesign of several holes by Phelps Golf Course Design), created By-Laws and Rules & Regulations for the membership, and focused on membership sales to further fund the Club's growth. Membership opportunities for families living outside of Willow Springs were introduced for the first time, thereby extending a friendly hand to folks living "beyond the Hogback."
