Description

The WPA constructed the first nine holes of this golf course, also known as the Baker City Golf Club, in 1936. From the club website: “In 1936 the WPA started constructing the 9-hole public golf course off Indiana Avenue, in Baker City, Oregon.  It was replacing the 9 hole private City Golf and Country Club created in 1924 at the end of Washington Street.  The clubhouse then was the Fireside.  The new public course was to be known as the Municipal Golf Links.”
