Fair Hill and Ordale

Fair Hill and Ordale are our clubhouses. Fair Hill originated as an Irish farmhouse.

Fair Hill was a home of my maternal grandmother. In County Clare, perhaps. Unless of course Grandma imagined the whole thing.

Eleanor “Ellie” (née Hennessy) Hohman

Years later, Fair Hill’s doppelgänger materialized in the New World (see The Wishing Well).

It overlooked a small lake. A real 1700s or early 1800s Colonial home Uncle Gene bought following his marriage to Aunt Mary, his second marriage. We would visit during the summer. I can recall pump water in the kitchen sink and curing ham hanging in the cellar. Or I hope it was a ham!

Located within a green belt of virtual Irish-American countryside ringed by cork trees, our courses radiate from repurposed-for-the-digital-age Ordale.
