Covington Country Club was organized and incorporated in June 1954,
by a group of local business men. It’s first president was Mr.
A. R. Blossman, Sr. Mr. Blossman donated 85 acres of land on the east
bank of the Tchefuncte river for the first nine hole golf course,
tennis courts and club house. He also used his company’s equipment
to build a 10,000 sq. ft. club house, pool, patio, and golf course.
The club was the first country club on the north shore – also
it was the first 9 hole golf course.
The club was an instant success and over the next 15 years the club
house was doubled in size, a cabana, tennis club house, four new tennis
courts, 60 acres of land and an additional 9 holes of golf, were added.
The club house has been the setting for over 3,000 wedding, birthday
parties, class reunions, and other social events. It has been the
social center for west St. Tammany Parish, for the past 50 years.
On November 21, 2003, the club was purchased by Dick Blossman, (son
of the founder) and his wife Lynn. Under their ownership the clubhouse
and golf course has been under major renovations, including a total
face lift, new furniture, new equipment, new golf carts, new irrigation
system and a fresh team of workers, who love to be part of the reborn
resort/country club. The business plan is to be the best on the north
shore.
Hold on because this place is going to rock and roll. |
