About Pontotoc Country Club
Pontotoc Country Club traces its origins to 1962, when five local men — Charles Thomas, George Simon, Al Williams, Farrell Berryhill and Willing Boone — borrowed money to buy 80 acres from the Lockhart family with the aim of building a nine-hole golf course.
Those charter members then sold shares to seventy-five individuals, who became the club's first membership. A roster of the original members dating from 1965 is still kept by the club.
