About Us:

In 1914, Michael and Irene Petrilak, immigrants from Austria, purchased this beautiful 100-acre tract of land to farm and raise their family of 14. In 1959, the two youngest family members Walter and Andrew devised a plan whereby they would keep one half of their herd of dairy cattle on the lower half of the farm while turning the upper one half of the farm into a nine-hole golf course. Slowly but surely, the plan took off until it was apparent that dairy farming was disappearing but golf was here to stay.

In 1962, the brothers converted the rest of the farm into nine more holes creating the present day 18-hole course. Sadly Walter passed away in February of 2004. He is deeply missed by all who knew him. Andy with his son Paul is hard at work maintaining Skyline. Today where you might once have seen a hay wagon heaping with bails or a herd of dairy cows quietly grazing, you will now find people of all ages working to improve their driving, chipping or putting.
