1922

Urbana Country Club Founded
Nothing tangible was done toward formation of a club until Stanley Boggs in the summer of 1921 took up the project and never quit bothering his friends about it until the start was made. Others may have thought a golf club would be successful in Urbana, but it remained for Stanley Boggs to put that thought into reality.

1923

Greens completed and ready for play
Building of tees and greens was done by using teams of horses to pull slip scrapers. These were steel containers open at the front, with a sharp lower edge and sides sloping back about 3 feet to a closed back about 15 inches high and about 3 feet wide.

Original measurements for tees, fairways, and greens were made by Harry Gill, famous track coach at University of Illinois.

1925

First Hole-in-One
"First hole-in-one recorded at a local country club was made by Mrs. T.A. Burt on No. 5 at Urbana in 1925. An ace was made on the same hole previously but a temporary green was in use."

1930

The south bunker was put in by the 16th green.
