Additional Comments
An affluent hunting resort developed on the eastern shore of Lake Koshkonong in 1870 was purchased by Arthur Hoard in 1898. At that time, Hoard constructed a large non-extant hotel named Koshkonong Place, it was also popularly referred to as “Hoard’s Hotel.” Eventually the resort utilized large steamboats to bring vacationers to the lake down the Rock River from nearby Fort Atkinson. Construction of a 9-hole golf course on the resort grounds began in 1922 utilizing several effigy mounds which were located on the property as navigational hazards. The course opened during the summer of 1924. Hoard operated the resort until his death in 1942. The resort reopened soon thereafter as Koshkonong Mounds Resort. The hotel was demolished in 1973.

Koshkonong Mounds Country Club was developed in 1973 on the grounds of Arthur Hoard’s former Koshkonong Place Hotel which later became the Koshkonong Mounds Resort on the eastern shore of Lake Koshkonong near a cluster of Native American effigy mounds. The resort’s existing 9-hole golf course, constructed in 1922, was designed utilizing several effigy mounds as navigational hazards. For the development of the country club, the former hotel was demolished for the construction of a new clubhouse that year. Nine additional holes were added to the course in 1981. Since that time, the country club has constructed several condominium buildings on Waubunsee Trail on its grounds overlooking the lake. The country club remains in operation to this day.
