The Golden Age of the American Country Club extended from the 1890s to the Great Crash of 1929. These suburban institutions originated from several sources, including men’s city clubs and resort casinos. The great suburban migration beginning in the 1890s increased the popularity of the sporting life for entire families. Country club design became a notable part of some architectural practices and national architectural journals began featuring clubhouse designs and plans. Clubhouse exteriors represented mainly traditional styles, while floor plans reflected gender roles, class hierarchies, and social values.
While not as formal as the Union League on Broad Street, the Golf Club requests that you wear business casual.
