The History of Clovernook Country Club
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 architects William Langford and Theodore Moreau were hired to design the championship course. Known for their bold Golden Age designs, they created a layout that blends strategy with natural beauty.
The course has remained largely unchanged for over 100 years, featuring rolling terrain, large undulating greens, manicured fairways, and stone bridges that cross two creeks. Towering oaks frame the holes, and a scenic lake fronts both the 17th and 18th greens.
From 1965 to 1968, Clovernook hosted the LPGA Buckeye Savings Invitational. In 1967, LPGA players honored superintendent Harry Mesloh for maintaining the best-groomed course on tour. The club has also hosted numerous USGA qualifiers, including a long run as a U.S. Open Sectional site, welcoming greats like Jack Nicklaus, Billy Casper, and Gary Player.
Clovernook continues to stand as a proud, tradition-rich club offering a timeless golf experience in a beautiful setting.
