THE COURSE - INVERNESS CLUB
The championship course was completed in the fall of 1919. After hosting a successful Ohio Open, it was announced that Inverness Club would host the 1920 U.S. Open. This was to be the first of four Opens (1920, 1931, 1957, 1979) that Inverness Club has hosted, along with five other championships, including two of the most dramatic PGA Championships (1986, 1993) in history. The 1920 U.S. Open was only the second professional major-sport championship hosted in the state of Ohio. The first was the 1919 World Series, matching the Cincinnati Reds against the Chicago White (Black) Sox… but, that’s another story. Arguably, Inverness Club served as a gateway to professional golf’s western expansion. Before 1937, no club located outside of the original thirteen colonies, hosted multiple U.S. Open Championships, other than Inverness Club and the Chicago Golf Club, which hosted its last U.S. Open championship in 1911. In 2016, Inverness Club engaged golf course architect, Andrew Green, who carefully researched original drawings and historic photography to restore the artistry of Donald Ross’s design. In addition, considering the modern game, Green modernized tee boxes and bunkering systems. Green’s design has restored Ross’s championship majesty, with Inverness Club now playing over 7,700 yards.
