Hudson at Country Club of Hudson

The Country Club of Hudson sits in the rolling terrain of northeast Ohio, approximately 25 miles south of Cleveland. Geoffrey Cornish, the prolific New England-based architect who designed or redesigned hundreds of courses across North America during the mid-20th century, laid out this private club layout. Cornish's work typically emphasized strategic variety and playability across different skill levels, often working within the natural contours of a property rather than imposing dramatic earthmoving.

The course occupies land characteristic of the Western Reserve region, with mature hardwood trees framing fairways and moderate elevation changes that provide both visual interest and strategic considerations off the tee. Hudson itself is a historic community with New England-influenced architecture and a village green, reflecting its Connecticut Western Reserve heritage. The golf course serves as a recreational and social center for members from Hudson and surrounding Summit County communities.

Cornish's design philosophy generally favored thoughtful green complexes and strategic bunkering over sheer length, creating courses that reward accurate iron play and course management. The Country Club of Hudson functions as a traditional private club where golf is complemented by family amenities and social programming typical of established Midwestern country clubs. The layout provides a parkland setting that changes character through Ohio's distinct seasons, from spring tree canopies to autumn color displays.
