Why Fiddlesticks?
The name Fiddlesticks has a charming origin rooted in Scottish golf tradition. In Scotland, when a golfer missed a putt or hit a wayward shot, they would exclaim "Fiddlesticks!" — an expression of mild frustration that became synonymous with the game itself.
When the community was founded in the early 1980s, the developers embraced this Scottish golfing heritage, naming the community Fiddlesticks Country Club and carrying the Scottish theme throughout — from the street names to the course names (Long Mean and Loch Ness) to the tartan patterns used in the club decor.
Today, that Scottish heritage lives on in every corner of the community. The annual Nichols Cup celebrity charity pro-am, the Highland-inspired architecture, and of course, the two championship golf courses that would make any Scotsman proud.
