The original course opened in 1994 as Putnam Country Club , and was purchased by owners Jim Dandeneau and Brad Rabitor in 2007 .

Approximately 4,000 trees were removed and replaced by long fescue and subtle mounding . A total of 56 bunkers were added , the course was lengthened 800 yards , and the greens were completely reshaped .
