The Clubhouse Renovations
The Clubhouse received a much-needed facelift and overhaul in 1984, The small porch facing the practice green was replaced by a substantial addition which can seat over one hundred people. It offers a beautiful elevated view of several holes.
The "New Nine"
The most dramatic accomplishment for Carlowden in the last half century has to be the addition of nine new holes making Carlowden an 18-hole golf course. The New Nine”, as it is most often referred to, began as an idea that had surfaced many times in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
