"Bird Homestead"
Golf Course
HISTORY
Bird Homestead Golf Course
is a dream come true for a real pioneer family. Elmer and Pat Bird,
and their children and grandchildren. The Birds moved to the Funny River
Area to homestead in 1959. They raised 3 children and numerous grandchildren
on the homestead.
With the addition of a paved road
to the area, the family decided they needed to do something with the land
that they no longer raised hay, cattle and horses on. The dream of a golf
course emerged. With the help of family and friends, a dream has become a
reality. The dream was to make this a family affair and as you play this
scenic course that abounds with wildlife and peace and quiet, you will
realize that the dream is materializing right before your eyes. The men will
enjoy the distances and greens. The ladies will enjoy the tee boxes that are
aimed at the greens. There will be work continuing all summer on the course
with improvements every day.
The drive out Funny River Road is
one of the most beautiful in the central peninsula area with a very friendly
cafe right in front of the golf course.
There is a camping area available
for those of you who would like to camp and fish. There is a State
fishing area within walking distance of the golf course camping area.
Several beautiful 1 acre-building
lots are available for sale on the golf course.

quiet of the country, you will fall in love with Funny River
