Springbrook Golf Course
(Previously "Leo The Lion Golf Club")
(Previously "Leo The Lion Golf Club")
Leo The Lion Golf Club was built by Leo Markel.
Dennis Howard was still in high school when he drove tractor to help to til the grounds for the golf course.
Near the barn, which is now used as a storage barn, stood an original farmhouse which was owned by the Lloyd Meadows family.
Leo Markel tore the house down and put in a mobile home (see third photo below) which has been moved for quite some time.
A golf pro bought the golf course from Leo Markel, and ran it for a short period of time...
maybe under the Springbrook Golf Course name at that time??
Next, the golf course was purchased by Ron and Sue Barr, later, owned by only Sue Barr, and now the ownership is unknown.
