The Old Cheesebrough Mill

The recognized leader in wooden rakes and wooden flagsticks for the golf industry.

Maintaining that position with the assistance of golf professionals around the world.

   This picture gives you a glimpse of our "Early American Industrial" facility. Daughter Bailey Rose says we look like "scruffy old men" and should be careful about letting our customers see us too closely.
    However, an 1800's woodshop is not an environment for looking your best. We try to let our products have that distinction.
   Here you see Hue (left) & Ken covered in dust, cutting away the chips from a hardwood billet to form a grounds accessory. The well-worn overhead lever controls the flat belts powering the cutting knives and drives.
  Job Cheesebrough made much of the equipment from 1855 -1890, and the original mill blacksmith shop helps keep it all in tune.  Cheesebrough is a "thin reed of its former self" according to a news article written some years back, and no longer ships by the freight car loads over the America's, Europe, and Russia. We hope that does not deter you from trusting us, however, to give you quality handcrafted accessories.  We have worked hard to absorb the knowledge of the previous generations, and add to it today's rapidly advancing technology.

 
Cheesebrough products are authentic accessories for early golf, and eye-catching in any setting. Professionals within the golf industry have taught us that along with reasonable product performance, they place high value on presentation. Nothing gets a pass with them, not even a simple rake. Whether grading sand or laying on the turf, it is expected to be a powerful component of a presentation that will build their player base. The expectation is that every item on their grounds is actively involved in marketing their property while it performs its function, no matter how humble. Challenged by that anticipation, we design "dual performance" into our products. To do their job well, and to enhance the presentation of your property.
