“The Cleveland Country Club is in the midst of a renaissance with a member driven effort to revitalize, reenergize and reimagine a club that was established in 1927, the very same year that Bobby Jones won the 62nd Open Championship at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland,” said David Teddy, president of Cleveland Country Club. “Aligning our Club with the iconic Bobby Jones brand and the business values and hospitality standards that Mr. Jones embraced is a smart move for our club.”

He added, “The Bobby Jones Links partnership is yet another step in our quest to make the Cleveland Country Club relevant to the next generation.  With the addition of the Bobby Jones Links team we believe we have hit a grand slam.”

Established in 1927, Cleveland Country Club offers its members a pleasant private club experience with a unique blend of Southern hospitality. The historic club features a par 72, 18-hole golf course with newly renovated bunkers and spans 6,409 yards with a 71.2 USGA golf course rating.

Cleveland Country Club is home to a top-notch tennis facility equipped with seven Har-Tru clay courts and two hard courts. Tennis instruction for juniors and adults is led by Tim Wilkison. Wilkison is a local Shelby, N.C. native that rose to become a nationally recognized tennis star honing his game on the club’s original red clay courts.

Wilkison was the number one ranked junior in the United States and went on to play professionally for over 25 years.
