The Park Country Club
Facilities
Lounges and meeting rooms are available to the members and their guests, in addition to formal, informal, and patio dining and dancing. Other leisure facilities include tennis, volleyball, swimming and diving, and lawn bowling, as well as a golf course designed by Colt & Alison.
Clubhouse
The club moved out of the city to its current location on Ellicott Creek in 1928. The current clubhouse was designed by noted architect Clifford C. Wendehack and was originally decorated by George Hoag of Prentiss & Company. The clubhouse is a built of "brick and stone of many varieties, French fossil and Jeanne d’Arc having been blended with Holland brick," according to contemporary newspaper reports. The clubhouse has since been expanded, including kitchen facilities and lounge and locker rooms, in consistent English Gothic and Tudor style.
PGA Championship
In 1934 the golf course was the venue for the PGA Championship, one of professional golf's four major championships. The tournament was won by Paul Runyan, who defeated Craig Wood in the final at the second extra hole.
