Pine Hills Golf Course was founded in 1954 by Carl Grygiel. Carl came from a golfing family and was one of 7 brothers – all of whom were caddies before World War II, 5 of whom entered the golf industry, and 4 of whom became PGA professionals.

After 2 years of service, Carl returned and resumed work on the course. He then completed the course and opened it to the public in 1954.
