Notes

Hibiscus Island Golf Course opened on December 25, 1929 and was designed by John and Ed Brophy. Mrs. Ed Brophy and Bill Klem, a well-known National League umpire officially opened the golf course.

Hibiscus Island Golf Course was an executive style 9-hole course, with a par of 31, running 1891 yards.

Located on Hibiscus Island, the Hibiscus Island Golf Course was surrounded by a stiff hedge about armpit high on the inner circle of the island and covered 8 acres.

Hibiscus Island Golf Course was described with wide fairways, a few bunkers, no water hazards and minimum rough, with the Brophy's intention that the golf course would serve as a good learning golf course.

I assume that the depression put an end to the short-lived golf course.
