History

The Toledo Country Club is one of the oldest and finest Country Clubs in the Midwest, established in 1897 with the purchase of approximately thirty acres of land along the Maumee River. A nine-hole golf course was constructed almost immediately while today’s Clubhouse was completed by 1901. The course was originally designed by British Open Champion Willie Park Jr. and was later redesigned by Arthur Hills. Club records indicate that in 1899, a golf lesson cost a mere seventy-five cents, while golf clubs were $2.50.

Within a decade, a new swimming pool and nine additional holes were added as additional land was purchased by the Club. The magnificent river setting and ambiance of the Clubhouse has made it a favorite location for many prestigious weddings, receptions and social gatherings.

Our true character is shaped both by the traditional elegance of the century-old Clubhouse as well as by the philosophy and attitudes of the Members. If there is a center point of the Toledo Country Club, it is the Members themselves.

For the last century, the Toledo Country Club has maintained a spirit and character which is highly prized by our Members. The beautiful setting, enhanced by the sense of tradition and elegance, has helped mold the Club into an organization of great people enjoying the companionship and camaraderie of great people. It is a source of great pride that this tradition will surely continue.
