History

In October of 1988, a group of 46 individuals and families from the Howard County area with a common interest in golf formed what is now known as Cattail Creek Country Club, Inc. Their goal was to acquire, develop and own a member owned golf and country club.

After considerable research, they selected Willard Byrd of Atlanta, GA, who had designed over 100 courses, to be their course architect. Byrd was also to assist in selection of the course site in, and ultimately design what is now the Cattail Creek facility.

After an extensive search the group purchased the 168 acre Cattail Site in 1990. The land was chosen primarily for its rolling rural topography and extensive water resources. In September 1991, the Club, with the support of 130 initial members, commenced construction on its golf course with contractors from Myrtle Beach, SC.

The course opened in the first week of July, 1993, under the leadership of Kevin Pryeski, Golf Course Superintendent, and the voluntary efforts of many of the early members. Since that time, the membership has grown.

The Club has realized its initial business and social plan to create a golf course and member environment that is almost without parallel. Cattail Creek is now recognized as one of the top 10 courses in the state of Maryland and has achieved its members' goal of being a fun place to play.
