“The Root River Golf Club is one of the prettiest nine hole golf courses anywhere” (Richard Barsanti). Harvey Sr. and Jane Barsanti purchased Root River Golf Club in 1944. The original course was pre-war design, following the natural contours of the farmland. Trying not to detract from the natural beauty of the way things were, Richard has kept three of the original greens.
The early years encouraged hard work and planning for the future. Harvey Sr’s. first undertaking was to install a pipeline to water the greens. The lifeline of every golf course, the irrigation system has evolved over the years. The original system in1950 drew water from the Root River and was upgraded in 1972. In 2000/2001, a series of ponds and wells were added and in 2009 additional irrigation lines were put down.
Richard and his grounds crew work diligently to better the course.
