How The Shoe Par 3 Came to Be
Some golfers may be familiar with the former Spotswood Executive Golf Course. This property closed at the end of 2022, and was slated for development. However, community feedback halted those plans, and about 1/3 of the property became the footprint for The Shoe.
Construction for this venue began in June 2024 and the course opened for play in July of 2025.
