Ownership of stock brings no emoluments, but, on the contrary, indirectly involves expense which the present owners have been willing to bear for the public good. From these small beginnings the Baguio country club has grown into an important institution.
As funds became available from the sale of stock, the payment of dues and tile generous donations of a few members, an excellent nine-hole golf course was completed, and tennis courts and facilities for trap-shooting were installed.
In March and April, 1908, a modest club house was built at a cost of some $5000.
It has two small locker rooms, a large living room, a tiny office, a little bath, a kitchen, and nine single sleeping rooms.
Three very small cottages, costing $375 each, were erected on the club grounds for the use of the members.
