MISTWOOD GOLF PRESENTS!

THE RETURN of the McWethy Cup, a memorial to the late owner of the club, Jim McWethy.

McWethy passed away in 2020, from a lung disease. But before he did, he built a lasting legacy in the Mistwood Golf Club and Mistwood Golf Dome.

One piece at time, McWethy rebuilt Mistwood with architect Ray Hearn back-on-board, redesigned the golf course, then the practice area, and then finally the Mistwood Clubhouse. Then McWethy started rebuilding and rebranding the Mistwood golf dome.
