Build it and they will come...
Green Meadows Golf Course opened Memorial weekend in 1973. Marion "Spitz" Eipperle and his wife Helen started turning a portion of their farm land into a golf course back in late 1971. Local farmers thought he was "crazy" when he started building greens in the middle of a corn field. Being determined, Spitz never slowed down on his project, completing it the fall of 1972.
The course was designed by a friend, Harley Hodges, who at the time built, owned, and operated Whiteford Valley Golf Course. He gave Spitz many tips on owning and operating a golf course, which we still use today.
Throughout the 70's and 80's Green Meadows attracted new leagues, outings, members, and high school teams. It took off faster than expected, so an addition on the clubhouse and a parking lot across the road was added, to accommodate the growing business.
Over the past 50 years we have been the home of both the Ida High and Monroe High boy's golf teams.
Much of the success that Green Meadows has experienced over the years is due to the family values and work ethics that Spitz and Helen have passed onto their children and grandchildren.
Green Meadows continues to strive to be the leader of value and service in southeast Michigan. Our guiding philosophy is to provide the highest quality, in the friendliest manner.
