Keith Nicolls
Legend of the Links – 1995
Keith Nicolls served on the Board of Trustees during initial discussion about the possibility of developing a municipal golf course, and during the original referendum in 1963. He was Village President when the Village Links opened for play in 1967. A $225,000 revenue bond issue was sold during his term in office, to complete the golf course and build the original clubhouse.
Keith served on the Recreation Commission from 1976 until his death in 2001. During that time, the clubhouse was expanded twice (1977 & 1985), the Village took over daily responsibility for the Pro Shop and Food Service that had been operated through concessionaires, the 18 hole course was closed to regrass the greens in 1981, and the fee structure was revamped in 1988.
