History
Hartwell Golf Club Inc. has a long and rather unique history.
The earliest record in club files relating to the property currently occupied by 
Hartwell Golf Club Inc. is dated July 5, 1923. The document states "In obedience to a
writ of Fieri Facias issued out of the Superior Court of Hart County. A Sheriffs deed
is issued by Sheriff B. R. Brown to R.C Thornton, S. W. Thornton, J.E. Cobb, B. C.
Teasley and J. L. Craft." The amount paid was $2550.00.
 On August 25, 1931, a quit claim deed on the same property was made transferring
ownership of the property from S. W. Thornton and A. S. Skelton to Nancy Hart Golf Club.
for the amount of $2771.20.
On April 3rd 1945, The Nancy Hart Golf Course located at the site of the current
Hartwell Golf Club, Inc. was purchased for the sum of $2350.00 dollars by American
Legion Post 109 of Hartwell, Georgia. The course at that time consisted of nine holes
with several greens serving as duplicate holes from different tee boxes. Some of the
greens were of sand rather than grass. The American Legion ran the course for several
years and in 1969 a number of the members of the American Legion offered to lease the
golf course and all facilities to the Hartwell Golf Club Inc. With a thirty-five year
lease in hand the non-profit corporation Hartwell Golf Club Inc. was founded. A resent
lease renewal extends the lease for an additional forty years. Over the years the
course has seen many improvements including expansion to eighteen holes, construction
of facilities, three ponds and continuous course modifications.
Today the course remains the home of the Hartwell Golf Club Inc. and American Legion
Post 109.
