Iron Masters Country Club traces its origins to the spring of 1960, when a group of local businessmen set out to build an 18-hole golf course for the southern Blair County community. The founding group included Rex Hershberger, Irvin Honsaker, Joe Hinish, Wes Lingenfelter, Jim Manifold, Red Metzler, Joe Myers, Ralph Over and George Wineland, who invited interested residents to a planning meeting that May at Hershberger's Garage in Martinsburg.
A fundraising effort followed, beginning with a sale of stock shares. After reviewing several possible locations, the board of directors settled on part of the Metzler Farm, situated between Martinsburg and Curryville. The corporation registered the original name for the new layout that same year: Pleasant View Golf Course.
