Welcome to Root River Golf Club

Jane and Harvey Barsanti Sr. purchased Root River Golf Club in 1944 and began operating, with the help of Ernie Damerino in 1945. Although Harvey and Ernie passed away in 1960 and 1979 Jane kept the business in her family with the help of her four children Roberta, Nancy, Richard and Harvey.
We are pleased to offer a traditional 9 hole golf course that can provide a unique experience every time you play. Distinctive in character and consistent in quality, the Root promises fulfill your golfing desires.
