John
Morris Hubbard was
interested in
investing in some
real estate. One day,
while thumbing
through an Oakland
Press newspaper, he
noticed an ad for a
160 acre lot located
just outside of
Oxford. He was
immediately
interested just as
an investment and
for a summer cottage
because, in 1960
Oxford was not much
but a small town
with a lot of open
land. He never
dreamt that it
someday would be an
18 hole Golf Course
Dining and Banquet
facility!. He came of
the idea when he an
a friend were at
another golf course
shortly after had
purchased the
property. He was
shocked at the
outrageous price he
had to pay to play
the course. He then
came up with the idea
of building his own
golf course. John
was an engineer at
Fisher Body for
General Motors, so
he had experience in
layout out plans and
was very handy in
many trades. This
made it easier for
him to plan out how
and what needed to
be done to construct
this golf course.

When
planning out just where the
holes would be placed, he
figured out he did not have
enough land and immediately
negotiated a deal to
purchase an extra forty
acres adjacent to the
property. Once this
happened, John decided to
waste no time and got under
way with the construction.
By 1965 he had 9 holes of
the course completed. He did
not want to stop there, he
soon went on to complete the
second 9 holes all while he
was still working a full
time job. He would come home
after work and start moving
dirt to shape and mold what
is now a successful
business. The course opened
it's doors in 1970 and today
has over 40 employees
including John's son Robert
Hubbard and daughter Nancy
Kraft. Virginia Hubbard, his
wife is still involved in
the golf course. John passed
away September of 2007, he
is greatly missed and
remembered fondly.
