Club House History
Maketewah was founded in 1910 when a group of eight Cincinnati individuals, led by Barney Kroger and William Procter, filed papers for the incorporation of the Hamilton County Golf Club. They invited 300 prominent business professionals to join the Club and purchased a dairy farm at the present locations on Reading Road. Many members of the Avondale Athletic Club, located onDana Avenue (site of Xavier University today), formed the nucleus of the Hamiliton County Goff Club. The Club changed its name to “Maketewah” in 1921. In 1929, the Board began construction on the current Clubhouse. The economy soon collapsed with the Wall Street crash of October, 1929. After the Crash, when many prominent individuals had to resign from Maketewah, Otto Armleder stepped up and assumed the mortgage on the property. The construction of our beautiful clubhouse was completed under his supervision.
