A Clubhouse in a Clubhouse

The Excelsior Springs Golf Course features a clubhouse within a clubhouse in that the cabin originally used is now enclosed by a newer clubhouse. A little history: The cabin was built in 1825 by the Edwin Odell family. Edwin and his wife, Letice raised 10 children in it while growing tobacco and raising mules. Eventually the property was purchased by Major William A. Bell of Sussex, England who developed a mineral water system and the golf course.
