About
Belmont Country Club, Fresno
It all started with an idea/dream of Bert Stamps (the eventual course designer and 1st Golf Professional). He pursued the notion of a golf club out here in 1954 and approached Frank J Sanders, who was extremely instrumental in getting things started. Bert, who designed Airways Golf Course in 1946 (his first course) was getting very excited about the idea of shaping the second of what would soon become a string of courses up and down the Golden State. Frank and Bert, after being unsuccessful in acquiring some land near Clovis Ave and Belmont Ave., approached Walt Tomerlin. He owned the 94 acre parcel on which the course now resides. That land was then divided into sections that included the golf course, streets, and home lots sold to who would later become members. The circle drive (Sanders Court) that the course wraps around,is named after Frank J Sanders. The original parcel was previously a grape vineyards farmed by Walt.
