During the 1800's, Golf Manor was an oasis of farms and green, grazing lands. The people were as industrious and frugal as Pennsylvania Dutch. They had the drive to work dawn to dusk in their fields and barns. When winter came, they repaired their tools, mended fences, and tended stock. They worshipped at local churches, even founded one in 1876: St. Peter's Evangelical Church of Pleasant Ridge.
Golf Manor became a nice place to raise a family. Stores opened in Golf Manor: grocery, bakery, radio repair, barbershop, dry cleaners, real estate offices, service stations, garages, a radio station, drug stores, cafes, beauty shops, and industrial plants of many kinds built on Wiehe Road. No longer country, Golf Manor became a village with a suburban look.
