5 Things You’ll Love About Horseshoe Bay Golf Club
The History
In 1917, Frank E. Murphy and his nephew chose Horseshoe Bay to start their own farm. It was the land’s dramatic backdrop that drew them to the property. By the early 1920’s, saw their dreams of creating a special place for locals to live, work, and play coming true. However, in the 1970s, the club couldn’t attract enough visitors to stay and business dropped. The Murphy’s shifted their attention back to farming and they became well-known dairy breeders.
Horseshoe Bay Farms grew to be the largest employer in Door County and the home to the third largest milk-producing cow in the world.
In 2000, Frank E. Murphy’s ancestors fulfilled his dream by finally converting the farm into a world-class golf course. Now the owners of Horseshoe Bay Golf Club want to share that dream and the stories of one of Door County’s most historic locations with you.
