The Wayne Hills Country Club
History :
The Wayne Hills Country Club idea originated in 1953 when four Lyons golfers, Dr. Arthur Santelli, Alfred Santelli, Bob Baer and Leon Lewis, persuaded eight other area golfers that a family recreation center was needed in the area.
The Wayne Recreation Association was incorporated under the laws of New York State in March 1956 and then became Wayne Hills Country Club, Inc. in 1963.
In 1958 the swimming pool was opened, followed by the first nine golf holes in 1959. 1964 saw the construction of the 2nd nine holes with a complete watering system on both nines. In 2000 the original watering system was replaced with a new, state-of-the-art, computerized watering system. In 2005, the swimming pool was permanently closed.
Paul Blum, our green superintendent since day one, retired in 1994. Dick Blackwell of Lyons was the first golf professional.
Wayne Hills Country Club is regarded as Central New York's finest and best kept secret.
