THE GOLF COURSE
IS OUR LEGACY

Founded in 1921, Lakewood Country Club is proud to be home to Ohio’s only original A.W. Tillinghast-designed golf course—an exceptional example of classic architecture from one of the game’s most influential figures. Tillinghast, a founder of the PGA of America and early advocate for the USGA Green Section, left an indelible mark on the sport through iconic designs at Winged Foot, Baltusrol, and Bethpage Black. His work at Lakewood reflects the same strategic brilliance and timeless elegance that define his greatest achievements.

At the core of our club is a championship 18-hole course that has served generations of golfers. With its traditional parkland style, Lakewood offers a masterful blend of challenge and charm—undulating greens, natural water features, subtle elevation changes, and one of the finest putting surfaces in the state. The layout rewards precision and course management while remaining accessible to players of all skill levels, making it both a stern test for the competitive golfer and an enjoyable walk for the everyday player.

In 2024, we proudly completed a full-scale restoration of the golf course, led by renowned architect Keith Foster—one of the country’s foremost experts on Tillinghast’s design principles. In collaboration with Total Turf Golf Services, Foster meticulously revitalized the course with a focus on authenticity, playability, and long-term sustainability. Every element—from bunker shapes and green complexes to fairway widths and tee placements—was thoughtfully restored to reflect Tillinghast’s original intent, while incorporating modern infrastructure and agronomic practices.

This historic restoration wasn’t simply about aesthetics—it was a reaffirmation of our commitment to excellence. It signaled the beginning of a new era at Lakewood, one rooted in tradition yet built for the future. As we celebrated our centennial, this investment ensured our place among the premier golf destinations in the Midwest, elevating both member experience and championship-caliber play.

Today, Lakewood Country Club proudly offers a golf experience unlike any other in the region: authentic, historic, challenging, and beautiful. It’s a place where legacy is honored, tradition is preserved, and every round tells a story.

PRACTICE AREA

Our practice facility is arguably the best in Northern Ohio! In addition to Lakewood’s 18-hole golf course, our members have access to practice facilities that consist of two putting greens, an adult driving range with two large bent grass tees and five target greens, a junior range with beautifully manicured tees and shortened target greens, and an outstanding 2.5-acre short game practice area. The short game practice area was opened in 2008 and allows members and our PGA Professional Staff to practice and teach a variety of shots around the greens.

The Golf Shop is the center of all golf activity, and our goal as a Professional Staff is to offer you and your guests the finest customer service, quality clothing, new equipment, and all of the latest accessories at competitive prices.
