Golf Course History:
When people say they are going to take up golf in their retirement, it does not usually involve building an 18-hole golf course. In the Spring of 2002 he decided to convert 175 acres of Langbrook Farms into a golf course and "country club". The golf course and driving range first opened in the Spring of 2003. The country theme is central to the design. The course is decorated with antique farm equipment, which shows Butch's pride in farming history. The course's slogan "A Stroke Back In Time" is a tribute to a simpler life and nostalgia for farming of yesteryear. In the Fall of 2005, the back nine holes were added making Langbrook Meadow a Par 71, 5766 yard, 18-hole golf course. The back nine feature three challenging dog legs, ponds, and breathtaking scenery. With the rich, sandy loam soil, the course has excellent drainage and is often on the earliest opening courses in the area. Upon Butch's unexpected passing in January 2007, his three daughters, Sara, Sharon, and Sandra assumed ownership of Langbrook Meadows. In July 2014, Tom and Tina Langtry (two of many cousins), purchased the course from the girls, and since then, have worked to improve the overall golfing experience for all levels of play and the community. On January 1, 2021, Tom sold his interest in the course to Bill Brister, a long time friend and an avid golfer. Bill and Tina are absentee owners and rely heavily upon two key individuals to keep the businesses operating smoothly and efficiently. The golf course and overall business operation is overseen by Ian Storie, General Manager. Langbrook Meadows has a full service bar and restaurant open year round that is managed by Diane Kraft, Manager Restaurant Services. This rustic 18-hole Par 71 golf course is quiet and picturesque. It offers challenging play and the cooling winds from the St. Lawrence River just 1 1/5 miles away. We invite you to make the trip for your next golf outing. We think you will be pleasantly surprised.
