Historic Sterling Course Reopens as Sky Ranch Golf and Grill

Sky Ranch Golf & Grill, the facility at 17408 Highway 14 in Sterling that traces its roots to the founding of Sterling Country Club in 1916, is now operating under the Sky Ranch brand with new ownership. The site functions as an 18 hole golf course open to daily public play while offering membership options, a clubhouse restaurant named Sky Ranch Golf & Grill, and banquet and event spaces geared to weddings, business meetings and community gatherings.

The venue continues to serve as a regional recreation and community events center for Logan County. It is a frequent site for tournaments, community banquets and Logan County Chamber hosted activities. The facility has also been used for local economic development programs, including hosting entrepreneurial workshop events and finals, making it a focal point for small business engagement and networking in the county. For hours, menu items and reservations the facility maintains local listings and a business website.

Preserving the course keeps an active public green space that carries more than a century of local history while contributing to the service economy. Event bookings for weddings and meetings can generate lodging and dining demand in Sterling and surrounding towns, and tournament play typically brings visitors who spend on local retail and hospitality. By offering both public tee times and membership options the facility balances accessibility with steady revenue streams, a model that many golf facilities have adopted to remain viable in a changing leisure market.

Local implications include increased capacity for chamber events and community programming, a venue for business to convene, and a steady source of seasonal employment in hospitality and groundskeeping. From a policy perspective the county can support this asset by promoting tourism linkages, coordinating with the chamber on event calendars, and ensuring zoning and infrastructure support for increased visitor traffic.

Sky Ranch Golf & Grill builds on a long standing community institution while adapting its services to broaden economic impact. Its continued role as a site for tournaments, community gatherings and development programs makes it an important part of Logan County economic and social life.
