It’s a blow to the small community course with just over 25 members.
The club is now trying to raise $20,000 to replace the collapsed building with a smaller clubhouse on the existing cement slab.
So far the club has raised $14,000. It plans to start the construction as soon as the snow melts and hopes to have the new building in place for this year’s golf season.
The existing building will likely have to be torn down.
