In 1962, a group of five men went to the bank and signed a note to purchase 80 acres of land from the Lockhart family to build a nine hole golf course.  These charter members, Charles Thomas, George Simon, Al Williams, Farrell Berryhill, and Willing Boone then sold shares to seventy five individuals. These people were the first members of the Pontotoc Country Club.  See below a list of the original members from 1965.
