Spencer Municipal Golf Course is a family friendly facility that offers six different sets of tees for golfers of all skill levels. These tees range from the black course measuring 6809 yards to the forward yellow tees measuring 3660 yards. We offer multiple golf leagues throughout the season as well as open golf to the public. There is also a full length driving range, chipping green with sand trap, and a 7500 square foot practice putting green.
Spencer golf dates back to 1904 or earlier, when a handful of young men marked off a course in the area where the gates of the Clay County Fair now stand. The course consisted of tin cans buried in the ground for cups, and was in a pasture area with sheep doing the mowing. Players would use the sheep as a lie (point of reference) after hitting their ball, and would sometimes lose it after the sheep moved on! This "Kil-Care Golf Club" was used more or less for four years. Spencer golfers found plenty of support in 1919 when they proposed a Golf and Country Club as a recreational center, which eventually resulted in the incorporation of Spencer Golf and Country Club in June, 1919. A horse-drawn mower was shipped to Spencer from an eastern factory for lawn care.
