Audrey J. Walton Clubhouse at Mules National Golf Club

Audrey J. Walton Clubhouse

The Audrey J. Walton Clubhouse at Mules National Golf Club at Pertle Springs was dedicated on Tuesday, November 29, 2011.

Longtime university supporter Audrey J. Walton of Versailles made the clubhouse possible with a $1.5 million gift. Walton’s gift helped fund the $1.7 million facility. It is approximately 5,000 square feet and features men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers, Traditions Restaurant, a fully stocked pro shop, staff offices, and a patio overlooking the 18th green. Reasbeck Construction, Inc. began work on the facility in April 2011.

Pertle Springs was once a nationally known resort area. Beginning in 2008, the university began an extensive renovation of Keth Memorial Golf Course, adding a new driving range with four indoor bays, new putting greens, and a chipping area.

Today, the golf course, now Mules National Golf Club after a multi-million-dollar renovation completed in November 2015, is home to the Mules and Jennies golf teams, in addition to hosting recreational golfers. The facility has often been used as a site for golf tournaments to raise money for scholarship programs and support a variety of other philanthropic endeavors.

In addition to supporting the new clubhouse, Audrey J. Walton is one of the largest individual cash donors in UCM history, having donated funds that also helped build the football stadium that bears her name. She also contributes annually to the university, including major items to the annual UCM Athletics Auction.
