Scherwood Golf was an extension of “the Scherwood Club”, a private club encompassing a large outdoor Olympic-size swimming pool and a clubhouse for private parties and member activities (also founded by Bill Christenson, in the late fifties). Original plans had only outlined a Par-3 course, but additional land was purchased and plans modified to accommodate an 18-hole regulation course. Ted Locke, from Bettendorf, Iowa, was retained for the design. An additional 9-hole par 3 course was later built on 20 acres that initially had comprised an archery field and playground.
