Constructed and opened in 1922, from a design by noted landscape architect Wayne Stiles. the 380-acre facility includes a 1929 Mission Revival style clubhouse, two 18-hole golf courses, a swimming pool, a complex of seven tennis courts, the golf pro shop and the maintenance facility, all counted as contributing to the historic district (three buildings and four structures).
Eleven noncontributing support buildings of various kinds are sprinkled over the acreage of the facility, often replacements on the same site of similar use buildings. While the outbuildings have changed over the years; they are a minor part of the overall visual integrity of the country club and the key facilities that were part of the original Stiles design concept are still intact and only the contributing clubhouse is visible (in winter) from a public road.
The clubhouse is situated on the highest point of the facility, positioned to provide good views of the golf courses. Alterations to the two, 18-hole courses designed by Stiles have been minimal, involving such things as relocating tees, re-sequencing some of the holes, and removing one frog pond that silted in.
The fairways for the nine-hole south course were graded in 1922, but the south course was never fully developed with greens and tee boxes. In recent years some of its graded fairways have become two new, replacement holes on the west course and another became the first hole on the east course.
Practice areas were interspersed among the nine holes on the south course and arc still used as the driving range.
Besides the south course, some of the early amenities, most notably the bridal paths, may never have been fully developed or, along with the dormitory and a baseball diamond for the caddies, were abandoned or eliminated early in the history of the club as technology brought motorized golf carts to the club in the 1950s, which also led to the asphalt pavement of the cinder paths throughout the property.
Renovations began in 1989 by Roger Null, golf course superintendent were undertaken consultation with Geoffrey Cornish, an expert on historic golf courses and their architects, especially Wayne Stiles, and the work succeeded in restoring and maintaining the historic integrity, historic look and feel of the courses while providing a more challenging layout. Overall, the district grounds look much as they did upon their completion some 100 years ago, more so than most of the Stiles remaining golf courses located elsewhere the United States.
