[3] In 1937, Byron Nelson was hired as the club pro, shortly after winning his first Masters Tournament.

[3] In the 1940s, due to a slow recovery from the Great Depression and America's entry into the World War II, the club faced financial difficulties that forced the club into bankruptcy, though golf continued to be played.

In 1944, a group of 20 local businessmen bought the club for $80,000 and invested another $20,000 into refurbishing the course.

The club was recognized both for the historic clubhouse and golf course, which is an important example of Alexander Findlay's design and a significant work of landscape architecture.
