In 1988 the Remada Group purchased the golf course from the shareholders. It later renamed the property The Vintage.
-Sounds like a winning combination.
-Sounds like a place you want to revisit.
-Sounds like a golf home.
Two years later it was sold to Dave and Dee Adix, who owned and operated it until the Domeno family purchased the course in February 2006. The Domeno family has roots in the old nine-hole course named Terrace. Gertie Domeno, the matriarch of the family grew up in nearby Aldrich. Despite moving to California, she kept ties with her homeland by maintaining a summer home in the area. Many summer days were spent at the course. That sense of community kept bringing the family back, until one day they decided to purchase the course.
A feeling of pride echoes through the trees at the Vintage. It’s home to two Minnesota Class 1A state girls’ golf championship teams and one boys’ state title team. Two individual state winners called The Vintage home. It’s also home to the winning net team of the 2002 Buick Scramble hosted by Tiger Woods. The team featured head professional and Minnesota golfing icon Bill Israelson.
It’s also where one of Minnesota’s most famous golfers honed his skills during best-ball shortstops. Tom Lehman, winner of the 1996 British Open, was a frequent player on The Vintage during his time growing up in Alexandria. He even won a microwave the year before he earned his PGA Tour card at the Staples course.
