"Awesome rolling topography. Great conditions. This is such a fun course to play on these hills."

Over the years of WBYC's history, famed golfers, such as Tom Vardon and Jimmy Johnston, have helped shape the legacy we've built. Tom Vardon, brother of Six-Time British Open Champion Harry, served as one of the original Golf Professionals from 1916-1937. Jimmy Johnston, a Minnesota Native and six-time Walker Cup participant, grew up playing at WBYC and is best known as the first golfer to win the U.S. Amateur west of the Mississippi, hosted at Pebble Beach Golf Links in 1929. He went on to beat Dr. O.F. Willey 4&3 in the final match.
