1. Louis G. Ruscilli Marker
Our first president, a humble but outspoken visionary whose leadership, guidance and sage advice played a major role in the successful development of Hickory Hills from a dream into a reality.
Not one for Laurels or Platitudes, all he ever wanted was a great place to play golf with his friends.
It was through Louie's personal labor and direction, with the aid of Ruscilli Construction Company and the founders that he was able to build the clubhouse, original bridges and related facilities on the course we all now enjoy.
Outside of his wife Mary and family, nothing was more important to Louie than Hickory Hills Golf Club.
