In recent months the sound of
'big cats' have knifed the serenity of the rolling hills
of north eastern Tuscarawas County. The sound of the
heavy equipment chugging its way across the terrain
signals the birth of an extravagant plan to enhance
an already beautiful area. The fairways are seeded and
the greens and tees are going in at a good pace and
Wilkshire Hills Golf Course should be ready for its
initial test come spring. Under the critical and experienced
eye of owner J.M. Easterday of Canton the newest of
county golf courses is being molded into the general
landscape along Route 212 between Bolivar and Zoarville.
The 18-hole layout consumes 140 acres of what eventually
will be Wilkshire Hills community. Easterday, who has
developed golf courses for other people since 1945 says,
"I decided it's about time to do one for myself." A
golfer himself, (he wouldn't divulge his handicap) Easterday
will operate the public course with his son John. Nine
holes will definitely be open for play by spring or
early summer of 1970 with the "back nine" to be ready
shortly thereafter. click here

Wilkshire Hills Course Is Shaping Up
for Golfers

The
Canton Repository - 06/26/69
BOLIVAR-The people of southern Stark County finally
are going to have a public golf course, even thought
it won't lie within the county. Articles of incorporation
have been filed in Columbus with Secretary of State
Ted W. Brown for Wilkshire Hills Golf, Inc., an 18-hole
course just a mile east of here and within easy access
of Canton golfers via Interstate 77. Canton is 10 miles
north. J. Melvin Easterday of 5804 Hills and Dales NW,
a nurseryman who is concerned with industrial and residential
planting and planning, is owner of the course located
just east of the Tuscarawas River in Tuscarawas County.
The rolling golf course is halfway between Canton and
Dover. The village of Zoar is only three miles east
on Ohio Route 212 and Interstate 77 is visible just
a half mile to the west.
