The Country Club

Founded in 1889, The Country Club in Pepper Pike is a private club whose history is closely tied to the early development of golf in America and to the country club movement itself. One of its most notable links to the game came through member Coburn Haskell, who conceived the first rubber-cored, rubber-wound golf ball — a ball reportedly put to championship use by Walter Travis when he took the British Amateur title in 1904.
