The Meadows at Mystic Lake started as a nine-hole course in 1974 under the name of Country Hills. In 1980 Country Hills was purchased by Don and Betty McKush and operated as a nine-hole course for the next five years. In 1985 Country Hills was expanded to 18 holes and renamed Lone Pine Golf Course. For the next 17 years, the McKush family owned and operated the affordable and popular golf course.
