You would think that anyone would be ecstatic to own a Tillinghast course. However, the golfers who founded the Erie Golf Club ran out of money and sold the course to the City of Erie in 1926. City officials, in 2007, decided they no longer wanted to fund the course. The golf club was transferred to Millcreek Township in 2009 in a three-way deal with Erie County to obtain land for a runway extension project at Erie International Airport. Millcreek officials, last year, decided they no longer wanted to be in the golf business. Dale, who was hired by the township to operate the course, shook his head when he was told the news.
