Club History
The Club started in the Bunny Run Subdivision in the late 1950’s. The founders obtained approval from the Village in the early 1960’s to develop the land east of Children’s Park which was then a flood plain. The members began the task of preparing the grounds and constructing the 15 regulation horseshoe courts according to standards as set forth by the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association (NHPA). For over 62 years our Club has acted as a sole caretaker for the courts making them available to the entire community.
The Club promotes sportsmanship amongst its members while promoting the art of horseshoe pitching. Many of Lake Orion players have won local, state, and national Championships. The Club is a unique asset and considered a jewel to the Orion Community. Not only does the club host weekend tournaments sanctioned by the Michigan Horseshoe Pitchers Association (MHPA) and 30 some years ago the first Michigan/Ontario Friendship tournament was started right here on Lake Orion soil. |
