1899 - Although the PCC did not actually become a legal organization until 1904, plans for the club existed back in 1899. With an original membership of 46, the Carmalt Farm, which was a 100-acre property (owned by the R & P Coal Company) was the site for the potential 9-hole course. 3 Holes were built in 1899; the second 3 built in 1900; and the final 3 in 1901. These 9 holes measured 2,473 yards, and would eventually have their own names (in order) – High Hopes, Lane, Highway, Hazard, Dale, San Juan, Piedmont, Columbus, & Home. The farmhouse was used as a clubhouse, and a barn was also used for autos and equipment.
1904 - The Punxsutawney Country Club became a legal organization.
1907 - The Carmalt Farm was purchased from R & P Coal Company for $4,000. Also, plans to expand the clubhouse were iniated. A porch was added to 3 sides of the clubhouse, and lockers, a bath and social rooms all took form. (This clubhouse would remain in function until 1998.) A tennis court, as well as a Roué court was also constructed. Caddies were available for $.10.
1915 - Water lines were installed to all greens. Several new greens were built, expanding the yardage to 2,777. Par was established at 33.4.
1923 - Walter Hagen and Aussie, Joe Kirkwood played an 18-hole match at Punxsutawney Country Club. Hagen shot a 73, while Kirkwood shot 66.

1935 - An additional 28 acres was purchased from the R & P Coal Company, for $300.00. A total of 2800 Pine seedlings were donated, and planted on the hills behind the Clubhouse. Thousands more Pine, Spruce, & Chestnut seedlings were planted the following year, on the hill which now lines hole #6.
