Stories:

Story 1: The Terrace Park Country Club was formed in 1900 and incorporated in 1910. A man named Will Irwin) had gone to Scotland in 1898 and returned enamored with the game of golf and with a few golf clubs.(see 329 Rugby lots owned in 1925) He and his friends started to play on the vacant lots and between the houses in the village of Terrace Park. After the incorporation of the Club land adjacent to the Little Miami River (between 101 and 313) was purchased for the original 6 hole golf course. In 1927 increased interest in golf encouraged the acquisition in 1928 of additional acreage for 3 more holes going across Red Bird Creek, between houses on Sycamore and behind the Worz/Achor home at 140 Wooster Pike.(When the golf course moved across Red Bird Creek in 1928, the number 3 hole was parallel to the family's vegetable garden. 8 year old Robert Achor retrieved golf balls and sold them back to the golfers. He got to know the names of several of them. There was a Mr. Arthr Ibold of the Ibold Cigar family in Cincinnati: Mr. Kruse who was Ferd Critchell Sr's father-in-law (611 Yale and 616 Yale); Radcliffe who was sports writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer (or was it the Times Star? Pat Fehl) and lived at 723 Floral.) After a search of several years, in 1931 FerdCritchell, Sr. and others acquired the Woodward Farm and moved the golf course across the river. They sold the old Club property to Henry Hodges who lived in Milford at the Promont House, now the home of the Milford Historical Society. Hodges paid them $37,000 for the property, $17,000 down and $20,000 mortgage. (Information from Robert L. Achor, grandson of Gus Worz [see 313 Miami] and the Milford Historical Society)
