Pomeroy's golf course is city-owned and operated under the city's parks department. It is located on the southeastern edge of town between 15th and 18th streets along tree-lined Arlington Avenue. The clubhouse is open daily between April and November but many golfers continue to play year-round.

The course itself is a 2,033-yard par 31 challenge. The absence of traditional water hazards and sand traps is offset with tough driving holes and some hilly terrain. Limited space during construction in the mid 1930's only allowed for five par 3 holes and four par 4 holes.

The first serious interest in constructing a golf course in Pomeroy was back in the fall of 1933, and in the spring of 1934, a meeting of golf enthusiasts was held and a managing board selected. The board chosen in 1934 immediately organized a golf association. Money for the proposed project was donated by businesses and individuals totaling $6,500. The course was completed in the fall of 1934 with labor provided by the state W.P.A. and local volunteers.

Pomeroy now has a modern, nine hole course with all grass greens, and fairways, and is considered by many visiting golf fans a very sporty course. Much favorable comment is also heard on the neat and efficient manner in which the course is maintained.

With time comes changes and the Pomeroy Course has seen a lot of them. The number eight green was a pond in the course's early days. Also, the original course continued across the road, with golfers having to swing across the street to a green on the present-day football field, where persons were often playing baseball.

Tee times for the course are not required, as the course has very few regularly reserved times, and passes are very reasonably priced. Cart and club rentals are also available. For more information call the clubhouse at (509)843-1197.
