A Little History of Red
Barn Golf Course
|
The Red Barn Golf Course was the original golf course of
the Wagon Wheel Resort in Rockton, Illinois. Built back in
the 1950’s, it is an executive golf course that can be very
challenging to the better player. The title "executive golf
course" means that the course has par 3 holes that are over
150 yards, and also has par 4’s and 5’s.
The Red Barn offers not only the beginner a great way to
learn but the better player a chance to really hone in on
their shot accuracy.
Marianne Floberg Kaiser has been the PGA Professional at Red
Barn for the past 14 years. Marianne, a lifelong resident of
Rockford, earned her Bachelors Degree in Human Relations
from Rockford College. Her father, John, was the owner of
Strike at Reitsch’s bowling lanes in Rockford and her
grandmother was Goldie, who the Goldie Floberg Home for
Children in Rockton is named after.
Marianne started in the PGA as an Assistant Golf
Professional at Rockford Country Club from 1990-1996.
Marianne earned her PGA membership in 1996 when she came to
the Red Barn. It is only fitting that Marianne and her
husband Marty became co-owners with Stu Hall in 1999 and
continue today, co-owning with Tim Storm of Fat Wallet.com.
Marianne’s family is always helping at the course. Nathan,
their 12 year old son, loves to play golf and help out at
the course |
