In the words of there website - 1981
Ralph Vold bought back some old grazing land from his brother Harry with a
combination of cattle and cash. The land was in a sand belt and would be perfect for the type of golf course they wanted to build. Late that fall, Ryan Vold and Rod Whitman, the designer, walk the land and begin routing the design in their mind.
