Overview

Cincinnati Country Club is an exclusive private club established in 1895 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The golf course was originally designed by Robert White. Mr. White was the first golf professional at the club and was also the first President of the PGA of America (1916-1919). The club hosted the 1977 US Women's Amateur, the 2014 and 2018 Western Women's Girls Championships, numerous US Amateur Qualifiers, and in 2021, hosted the 112th Tony Blom Metropolitan Amateur Championship (Cincinnati). The golf course re-opened in May 2026 after an extensive golf course renovation, completed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan. The golf operation is active and plays around 16,000 rounds in a typical year.

In addition to the 18-Hole golf course, the club also offers a range of premier amenities including indoor and outdoor dining, six guest rooms, nine tennis courts, three platform tennis courts, swimming pools, fitness and squash facilities featuring five singles courts and a doubles court.
