Built-in 1911, the Country Club Of Orlando is just five minutes from the city’s central business district and about 25-minutes away from Orlando International Airport. Among Florida’s oldest golf courses, the Country Club Of Orlando is a private, members-only sports and recreational facility and leisure and social hub.
Originally designed with only nine holes by Tom Bendelow, the Country Club Of Orlando’s layout was expanded to a full 18-holes in 1918 – an endeavor credited to Donald Ross. Further reconstruction was carried out in the 1950s by Robert Trent Jones. The most recent redesign was completed in 2017 by Ron Forse and Jim Nagle with the intent of reviving the historic look and feel of the initial Ross architecture.
Today, the 6,686-yard golf course is big, bold, and “pushed up” with elevation and movement. On the ninth green is an unforgettable double punchbowl – two large collection bowls separated by a spine that bisects the green.
Also available to golfers is a driving range, chipping and putting greens, locker rooms, and a Pro shop. Members have access to other amenities like 12 Har Tru tennis courts, a croquet lawn, a junior Olympic-sized swimming pool, a wellness center with state-of-the-art Life Fitness cardio and strength equipment, plus Peloton bikes.
At the “Old Florida” style clubhouse are the main dining room, a beautiful ballroom, and even a bridge room. There are also two snack bars as well as meeting and event rooms. The Country Club Of Orlando also extends to its junior members an array of activities that includes golf, tennis, and swimming instruction, movie and painting nights with family and friends as well as seven-week summer camps.

Lovely, exclusive, and family-friendly, The Country Club of the Orlando community began its development in 1925 – almost 15 years after the golf course was introduced in 1911. The neighborhood’s streets display an array of homes with diverse architectures – from period to contemporary. Many of these residences are ancestral yet, highly valued and well maintained.
The private and members-only Country Club of Orlando has been the traditional recreation and social hub of the community since its inception. Residents with memberships are entitled to enjoy rounds on the 18-hole championship course which has evolved remarkably throughout the last century. Aside from golf, the country club also makes available to members excellent amenities for tennis, croquet, swimming, fitness, and elegant clubhouse dining.
Downtown Orlando’s cosmopolitan dining, shopping, and entertainment are just minutes away from The Country Club of Orlando. Plus, about half an hour’s drive will take residents to Orlando’s major tourist destinations – SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Disney World.
