Shiloh Springs Golf Club, Platte City

Shiloh Springs Golf Club is the work of one man: Gary Martin. In 1993, the architect and builder set out to fulfill a lifelong dream to create a golf course. He leased land from Platte County, drew up a clever but rewarding layout, and cut the ribbon in June of 1995. He even managed operations for the first five years of the club's existence, personally welcoming players to his 18-hole creation and vetoing excessive mulligans. Today the course is managed by the Platte County Parks & Recreation Department, but much remains the same.
