Pepper Pike Club
The Pepper Pike Club’s next door neighbour, The Country Club, grabs most of the attention in this east end Cleveland suburb with both clubs sharing the architectural heritage of William Flynn. Only the lucky few will be invited onto the first tee of the ultra-exclusive and small membership Pepper Pike Club where Ian Andrew renovated the bunkers on this little-known and under appreciated Golden Age layout in 2019.
The club’s founders were members of Mayfield Country Club (now Mayfield Sand Ridge Club) who wanted to branch out and form their own club but World War I intervened and their plans were put on hold. The formal opening of the club took place a decade later, on 6th July 1925 to be exact, and today there are 240 members upholding the golfing traditions of almost a hundred years.
Pepper Pike recently renovated its clubhouse at a cost of $3.5 million and a further $1.5 million was invested in a four-year master plan to upgrade the course, which completed in 2020. The layout is now as close to the original design intent of architect William Flynn as when the course first debuted.
