History of the TGC

The Trion Golf Course was originally built by Benjamin D. Riegel in 1912 after the purchase of the Trion Manufacturing Company (now known as Mount Vernon Mills). This 9-hole course was owned and operated by the Mill until 1984 when Mr. Riegel sold the course to a private individual who later passed it on to several other individuals, and was eventually lost to foreclosure until 2015. 

In May of 2015, long-time Trion native, Randy Henderson (and family), decided to purchase the course out of foreclosure. 

To Henderson, this course wasn't just a course, but a place that held many fond memories of his childhood. In fact, Randy started working at the course when he was just 12 years old, up until he was 18, and still visited the course until it was too overgrown to play.

From using it to cut hay off of, to a bustling 9-hole course that boasts over 130 members, the Trion Golf Course is a place where families can gather and make lasting memories. 

If you are looking for a place where history meets that hometown feel, look no further.
