During the summer of 1929, the same year of The Great Depression, after a long decade of unparalleled stock market advances, a group of 11 members of the downtown Cincinnati Club eagerly decided to create a golfing country club. The committee considered several tracts of land and called in Mr. Donald Ross, an outstanding golf architect with a national reputation, to review and give a written report as to his first choice in location. The committee, led by Edward J. Hoff, Kenwood’s first president, soon acquired 341 acres of farmland northeast of the city. Soon after the initial purchase an additional amount of land was added to the club’s present course, which totals 482 acres. The clubhouse was built in 1929 and open to the Members in 1930.
Kenwood Country Club is one of only a few clubs in America that is over 90 years of age and has 36 holes. The inaugural tee shot was taken by Club President, Edward J. Hoff, on August 2, 1930, alongside two other golfers – no one shot over 100 that day. Kenwood is one of only 20 of the 36-hole golf club group that has hosted a major national tournament: the 1933 U.S. Amateur, the Western Open in 1954, and the U.S. Women’s Open Championship in 1963.
KCC has recently been awarded the LPGA Kroger Queen City Championship Presented by P&G which will take place in September, 2022. Since these very early days, our Club established itself as the premier, private, and family-oriented county club in this part of the Midwest. The club re-invested in every area of the club with capital improvements over the years; most recently, the Tennis Pavilion Project, Mixed Grill/entry/main corridor, New Kitchen, Tavern, and Outdoor Pool & Pavilion area with a zero-entry pool. Golf Course improvements, including re-building bunkers and new irrigation system: Centennial Project, 2015, $15.5M; Clubhouse First Floor Renovations, 2018, $1.5M; Kendale, 2019-2020, $5M.
