Pine Valley Golf Club, long held in high esteem in the golf community for its architectural features and stern test to high-end players, is set to break from tradition and allow women members for the first time while also striking all restrictions among women golfers currently in place.
Both the Golf Magazine and Golf Digest websites reported that an email from club president Jim Davis was sent to members on Friday evening after an annual meeting of trustees and members saying that the club had made a "historic change."
For years, the club did not even permit women on the grounds, and then had time for women players only available on Sundays.
