Springfield CC HistoryFounded in 1898, Springfield Country Club originally occupied a site at the corner of Limestone and McCreight Streets. In 1906, a group of members sought a “sporty” upgrade—a full 18-hole course with lush grass greens rather than the sand greens and nine holes offered at the original location—prompting the move to the current site.  A devastating fire in 1922 destroyed the original clubhouse, and the present-day clubhouse was completed just two years later, in 1924. Meanwhile, the renowned golf course architect Donald Ross was commissioned to design and construct the current course. Construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1922, with the course remaining true to Ross’s original vision nearly 90 years later.  Over the years, Springfield Country Club has played host to numerous prestigious golf events. The Ohio Amateur was first held here in 1933, and since then the club has welcomed several Ohio Amateur Qualifiers, Ohio Amateurs, Ohio Senior Amateurs, U.S. Senior Challenge events, and U.S. Open Sectional Qualifiers—all proud chapters in its storied history. The Ohio Amateur returned to Springfield Country Club in July 2017, with Dayton’s Austin Sipe claiming victory.
