Thorne Family Golf ~
Since 1980
The Thorne Family has owned and operated golf courses for nearly three decades and is carrying on the dream.
Dan and Rosalie Thorne began the family's love for golf in 1980 when Dan's dream was realized and they opened the front nine at Thorne Hills Golf Course after the family worked as a team to clear the land and create the course.
Thorne
Hills has been home to many golfers over
the years. With a friendly atmosphere and beautiful course, Thorne
Hills is home away from home to many a golfer.
Dan Thorne I takes a quick break while building the back nine at Thorne Hills Golf Course.
In April of 2008, Dan's sons, William and Daniel, managed to bring another of Dan's dreams to life when they agreed to purchase Wyndridge Oaks Golf Course (formerly the Lilac Brothers Golf Course, built by Sam and Alec Lilac). Their father had originally made an offer on the course when the Lilac Brothers were selling it, but the offer was refused and Rosalie was against raising the offer.
Today, the Thorne Brothers are working hard once again ~~~ just as they
learned to do through building and maintaining Thorne Hills. In
honor of the original course owners, the course is now called Thorne
Brothers at Lilac Golf Course and is seeing lots of changes.
Daniel Thorne II works to remove dead ash trees at the Lilac Golf Course (formerly Wyndridge Oaks).
