The Vision
The 1887 Project is a historic golf course renovation initiative formed in 2021 by a group of committed volunteers known as The Foxburg Golf Preservation. The group’s main goal is to address the course needs and to preserve the historic, recreational, economic, health, social and environmental benefits of the oldest golf course in continuous operation in the United States.
Foxburg Country Club traces its rich history all the way back to Scotland’s St. Andrews and the world’s official Home of Golf. But, as a result of economic conditions, Foxburg has simply not been able to sustain consistent investment in the course’s historic Victorian design, its infrastructure, personnel, equipment or promotion.
The Foxburg golf course was granted status by the Department of the Interior’s National Registry of Historic Places in 2007 and houses artifacts from the American Golf Museum. A revived, healthy golf course will preserve this national landmark, enhance the golf experience, expand regional opportunities and serve youth, veterans, and disabled golfers.
The 1887 Project has retained Ron Forse of Forse Golf Design, a leading national golf course historian and architect to provide a master plan for a Foxburg golf revitalization.
