Our history

The Yolo Fliers Club, or “The Fliers Club” as it is known to its members, is a private proprietary golf and country club with a long and proud history. Founded nearly a century ago by a group of aviation enthusiasts led by O.W.H. Pratt, the club was intended to be a haven for aerial enthusiasts and their families. Along with one of the finest private air fields on the West Coast, a clubhouse, swimming pool, golf course and bowling alley were part of the original plan.

1919

The Yolo Fliers Club was founded by aviation enthusiast and sportsman O. W. H. Pratt on Sunday, Sept. 28, 1919.

1921

On May 7, 1921, national attention was focused on the Fliers field when it hosted the largest aerial show of its kind on the Pacific Coast. After decades of flying success, the air field was eventually sold in 1945.

1922

On June 14, 1922, the clubhouse and swimming pool were officially dedicated. Also completed was the club gateway, which encases memorial plaques honoring the Yolo residents who died in World War I.

1941

The first club championship was held in 1941, during which Les Morris (pictured) triumphed over his best friend Bill Crawford for the title.

1958

In the spring of 1958, the second nine holes of the golf course were completed, making Yolo Fliers Club one of the better known and enjoyed 18-hole golf courses in the Sacramento Valley.

1970

In the 1970s, the Fliers Clubhouse was remodeled to include a bar & grill area for members and a uniquely round ballroom for banquets and other events.

2000

In the early 2000’s, the YFC layout was remodeled to accommodate the now-neighboring Wild Wings housing development.

2009

In addition to the remodel of the greens to USGA specifications, cart paths were also added between 2005-2009, contributing to the fantastic golfing experience available at Yolo Fliers Club.
