History Built in 1920, Klinger Lake Country Club has a rich golf history. The golf course began as a nine-hole layout and the back nine was added ten years later. Golf legend Chick Evans established the first course record of 73 in 1921. During the 1940's, touring professionals, Ben Hogan, Jimmy Demaret, Louise Suggs and Byron Nelson all played here. Former KLCC Golf Professional Norm Collins holds the current course record of 63.

Golf A challenging par 72, 18 hole golf course, which plays 6,100 yards from the men's tee and 5,300 yards from the ladies' tee. This may not appear too long, but don't be fooled… Klinger Lake is a very challenging course to play! The condition is always top notch, which contributes to quick greens. The course is truly a pleasure to play. KLCC also offers a driving range and practice area along with a full service Pro Shop including lessons with our PGA Golf Professional.

Statistics A typical course (public or private) will play 22,000 to 40,000 rounds a year. However, KLCC plays about 9,000 rounds per year, which is very low for an 18-hole facility. This means that it is very easy to get on the course. Tee times are accepted up to 1 week in advance but reservations are rarely necessary. The PGA Professional and his staff conduct an extensive tournament schedule for members, with over 30 events to participate in.

Special Groups We have golf events for the whole family: men, women and juniors.

  The Men's Stag (men only) is traditionally held on Thursday afternoon.
  The Women's Golf Association is very active and plays Tuesday mornings. They enjoy a variety of 9-hole, 18-hole and specialty events. The group includes ladies of all ages and skill levels. They are a fun-loving group and welcome all newcomers.
  Wednesday evenings, the 2-ball Group plays their own brand of 9-hole fun golf. The groups consist of mixed couples and singles.
  A Junior Group is conducted during the summer months. Approximately fifty young people participate each year…all ages and skill levels.
