ROOTED IN 1958. REIMAGINED FOR TOMORROW.

Some places deserve a second first chapter.

Since 1958, this course has been part of Lucedale’s story. Once loved. Then left to the pines. But beneath the overgrowth, something special never disappeared.

Now, local owners with a belief in Lucedale are bringing it back as Acorn Ridge Golf Club. Not just a golf course. A place to gather, to play, and to belong.

A historic course. A brighter tomorrow.

Mike & Katri Welford

Mike and Katri are Lucedale natives and entrepreneurs, and Katri spent years as a school teacher. They love Lucedale, and the everyday work of building up the community they came from.

They wanted to see the old Lucedale Country Club golf course thrive again. That was the inspiration for purchasing it, and for building something new here for the next generation of Lucedale.

We just want to see this course, and this town, thrive again.The Welfords
