Golf Course Information
Description
On a spring day in 1920, a small group of local businessmen found themselves assembled together in Pittston, Pennsylvania, to consider the possibility of a country club for the greater Pittston area. There had been many meetings on this subject over the past several years, but this day, May 25th, 1920 would be historical as this was the founding meeting of Fox Hill Country Club.
After examining possible sites for the club, a parcel of land along West Pittston-Exeter border was chosen on June 23rd, 1920. With the site selected, interest in the Fox Hill club began to take hold, thanks to the work of a newly established membership committee. Requests for information were also received outside the greater Pittston area. At this time, there were very few golf courses operating in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Wyoming Valley Country Club in Wilkes-Barre and the Country Club of Scranton had been operating for many years, but area leaders saw the need for a closer venue in pursuing their leisure activities.
