The Making of a Golf Course
By Rochelle Danielson
The idea for a course came about in the summer of 1917, when Enterprise Country
Club members, Ian MacDonald and R .J. Campbell — considered golf experts from
the east — declared the property that lay two miles north of town ideal for the game.
The club applied for a state charter, and contracted for the 43 acres. The fledgling
organization incorporated with capital stock of $5,000, and shares of $25 each.
The charter application came at a time when optimism flourished in the county,
where the population was growing in leaps and bounds.

LOST BOMBER LANDS ON
ENTERPRISE GOLF COURSE
In 1944, during World War II, a B-24
Liberator, on a routine training mission
from the Walla Walla airbase, became
lost in bad weather. With low visibility
and a radio that had conked out, the
pilot circled the unfamiliar Wallowa
valley countryside while local
residents came out in force to help.
Hundreds of cars streamed out to the
course, and lined up with headlights
and spotlights focused on the field to guide the plane.
Finally at one o’clock in the morning the pilot made a
miraculous landing putting the mammoth four-
motored bomber down safely in the narrow gorge. All
ten crew members were unharmed. Within a few
weeks, the plane was able to take off successfully.
