Many a score and a lot of years ago a group of dedicated golfers brought forth the Gunflint Hills Golf Club to support, play and enjoy Gunflint Hills Golf Course. Along with trying to avoid the tree at No. 3 as the years went by, the club members promoted the development, growth and improvements to the course along with the city of Grand Marais. Today we celebrate and thank all of those who gave so much time and effort to build and maintain what has been a wonderful experience for most of us.
