The evening’s program was presented by Karen Miller, outlining the history and development of the Sugar Bush Golf Course, a well-regarded local enterprise since July 3, 1965. The course was designed by Harold Paddock on land belonging largely to the Kelker family and included a grove of sugar maples; some of the trees are still there.. Land was acquired, big machinery came in, special systems–watering, etc. were laid out, investors joined, the farm cows found new barns, no more ice skating on the pond, club houses expanded, word got out. Sugar Bush is a golf course ‘til the cows come home.
Next meeting will be on March 19, 2026.
