Course History
Founded in 1915, Mount Vernon Country Club stands as one of Central Ohio’s premier private clubs, offering an exceptional golf and social experience that reflects a rich tradition of excellence. The golf course, originally designed by the acclaimed architect Thomas Bendelow, showcases a blend of natural beauty and challenging play, inviting members to immerse themselves in the game they love.

Vintage History
Over the years, the course has evolved significantly, with a remarkable transformation taking place in 1996 under the visionary guidance of Barry Serafin, who introduced innovative designs that have enhanced the course’s playability and aesthetics. The course prioritizes precision and strategy over sheer length. Distance control on approach shots is critical, as being out of position on our undulating greens can quickly impact a player’s score.

Our Idyllic Golf Course
Our most skilled players navigate the demanding par fours on the outward nine, aiming to make the turn near par, before capitalizing on the three par fives on the inward nine to finish strong. Members take great pride in showcasing our century-old greens, which serve as the course’s ultimate defense—leaving many guests eager for another opportunity to conquer their challenges.

Modern, Upscale Advancements
The course invites players to embrace precision and thoughtfulness over pure length with its just-under 6,400-yard layout from the championship tees. Our private country club is open Tuesday through Sunday from April through November. We incorporate a tee time system to accommodate our golf members and their guests. We play less than 7,000 rounds annually, a busy day on the course is about 60 players.
