- ➤ The Pearl Club, once known as Summit Country Club, was revived by Terry and Melody Delk after a challenging period that saw its rounds drop and near closure in 2019—community support and the COVID-19 golf surge helped it regain strength, now drawing over 20,000 rounds annually and offering amenities like a pool, six pickleball courts, and a full-service restaurant. Its turnaround not only improved fairways for local and southern Indiana players but also helped boost local property values as families returned to the game. The Owensboro Times
