High Point Country Club was originally named Holiday Lake and Country Club when it was founded in the 1960's. The property, originally 5 farms, was subdivided into lots, a 7,000-foot 18-hole par 73 golf course, and manmade lake. The concept was to build a seasonal recreational community centered around the golf course and lake offering many outdoor activities and events.
The club was touted as an affordable all-electric vacation community surrounded by farms, mountains, lakes, and streams.
The clubhouse was the center of the community hosting themed parties, dinner dances, golf outings, and ceremonies. The pool was added in 1969.
Members were greeted at the club entrance by Frank who manned the guard shack on North Gate Road.
Other than golf there was a sailing club, archery, horseback riding, skeet shooting, skiing, sledding, ice skating, hiking, and tennis to name a few offered activities.
Sadly, times changed, the economy took a downward turn and the golf course failed throwing the community into a tailspin. With the prospect of bankruptcy becoming more and more a reality a deal was struck to sell the golf course along with the club house, vacant lots, and some of the amenities.
It has been a long road to recovery, but things are again looking bright for High Point Country Club. The Golf course has fully recovered, property values have improved exponentially, new owners are cleaning up tired properties, and money is being reinvested into long overdue improvements to amenities and infrastructure.
Nothing but good things await the future of High Point Country Club.
