Don’t forget to sign up for the 2008 Quest, to be held July 24, 25, & 26. For those that are not familiar, this is our annual Member-Guest tournament, and it’s the best event of the year. Over ½ the field is already set so hurry and call the golf shop to reserve your spot in this year’s event.
Call the golf shop today and become a member of the Firethorn Hole in One Club. Cost is only $5 each time another club member makes a hole in one. That lucky club member receives ½ of that money collected as an account credit and the other ½ in golf shop credit. You never know, the next one could be you.

One of our committee chairs recommended this link to the USGA Web site. There are some good things on this site for all of us who love the game to keep in mind.

Thanks to Perry Dye we now have the original Pete Dye video of Firethorn available on this Web site. Please go to "History" - "The Early Years" section on the Web site (or just click this link) to download and play the video. It lasts about 20 minutes and requires a high speed Internet connection.
We hope you enjoy this classic!
In 2001, nine new holes were added. Designed by Rod Whitman, this links
style course is a great addition to Firethorn, providing a different
challenge and insuring a place to play during events or course
maintenance on the original 18.
The end result is Firethorn, a golf club unpretentious in character,
providing an interesting and rewarding challenge to both the serious
and not so serious golfer. In the end, it is the golfer who will make
the final judgment on its character and quality.
