We met with Mr. Josey, the GM at The Country Club. The history and reputation of The Country Club is unparalleled. The members tend to be high end businessmen or doctors. Founded in 1889, it is the oldest club on the east side of Cleveland.
Country has been a family club since the beginning; Country does a beautiful job of combining high class service and family oriented programs. They even offer paintball on the golf course and overnights. With 247 members, Country is no doubt one of the strongest clubs around. After a recent remodel, the club is built for the family even more.
Mr. Josey, "We put our money where are mouth was, we kept saying we are a family club but now we truly are." However, the club keeps its formality in the dress code and dining requiring gentlemen to wear jackets in certain parts of the club. Children under 18 can wear jeans outside and not in the main dining room. 
Country is able to turn a small profit on food and beverage due to their high number of banquets that the stunning campus can hold. The kitchen is well located in the center of the clubhouse and ran by an organized crew. Country offers a variety of dining options from a snack grill to a formal dining room. Also, Country does a good job offering activities for the members over the winter time from paddle tennis, skeet shooting, wine tasting, cooking classes, and the fitness center.
Country has a 125 acre course ran at a terrific level. Despite having a great course they have no interest in a professional tournament because the members do not want to give up any more days in their golf season. However, there is rich history including a few amateur tours. The course has junior tees so kids can feel comfortable learning the game.
Country sits atop the club industry with its elegance and breath taking club house and course. The members keep it strong with the pride and prestige that can only come with the name The Country Club.
