How We Got Here

The story of building Turkey Toe Links — from pasture to fairway, one windmill at a time.

Turkey Toe Links wasn't built by contractors or course designers. It was built by friends, family, and a whole lot of weekends. Every turf pad was laid by hand. Every windmill was placed with intention. Every hole tells a story of the people who made it happen.

This page is dedicated to documenting that journey — for ourselves, and for anyone who wants to understand what makes this place special.
