It seems that there was a course at the Ranche , a wooden summer house in the 4000 acre woodland north of the house, made for Mrs Mabel Morrison.
There was a mention of an additional nine-hole course being laid out by Tom Dunn in Golf on 1 May 1896. It was also listed in Golf Illustrated in April 1902.
