Clovernook Country Club was incorporated on April 13, 1923 by founding member Powell Crosley, Jr. The 108-acre farm of Mary and George Schild was purchased for $28,000 and renowned golf course architects Langford and Moreau were hired to transform the farmland into a championship golf course.
Meticulously maintained and largely unchanged, it is fun to play! The gently rolling terrain is characterized by large undulating greens, manicured fairways and numerous stone bridges crossing two creeks that wind through the course. Flanked by 100+ year old Oaks, a natural lake fronts both the 17th and 18th holes. Throughout its 90+ year history, the course has virtually remained the same.
From 1965 to 1968, Clovernook hosted the LPGA Tour Buckeye Savings Invitational. After the 1967 LPGA event, the LPGA players presented then golf course superintendent, Harry Mesloh with s special award for "having maintained the best groomed course they had played on Tour."
