Nearly a century after its founding, it’s hard to believe that a golf course existed on Belvedere Island. But exist it did, flourishing for almost 20 years. A news item in 1925 testified: “Belvedere links have a reputation for being desirable because they’re not too strenuous. Climate and scenery are especial assets.”

On October 18, 1933, an announcement was made: the Belevedere Land Company would take over the clubhouse and install a caretaker. Four months later the Land Company voted to sell the personal property for the golf club to cover the $7,950 in back rent.

The Belvedere Golf and Country Club had perished. Born on May 23rd, 1914, deceased on October 18, 1933, it had survived five days and seven months short of 20 years. The clubhouse was used for social events during the next few months and was eventually converted into a residence and rented for several years, The links were developed into homesites.
