WinterStone Golf Course opened in 2003 and is the 2nd phase in a development project that started with a limestone mine. Harlan Limpus, owner of the mining company Rocca Processing, bought 150 acres of land in Independence, MO and opened a mine there in 2000. Miners started excavating limestone from the property and will continue to do so for the next several years. Then the limestone caves will be converted into business warehouse space. Limpus decided to develop a golf course on the property to enhance the value to the community.
