About us

Fircrest Golf Club was designed by Arthur Vernon Macan and is nearly the same today as when designed in 1923. Fircrest Golf Club grew out of the woods with no homes, roads or businesses in the area, just a 165-acre parcel of land with rolling terrain that was turned into one of Macan’s signature courses. Fircrest Golf Club has stood the test of time and provided its members, guests, and professionals with a challenge each time played. See www.fircrestgolf.com to learn more about us!
