CLAYTON — This year marks a monumental occasion for Meadowbrook at Clayton as the golf course and event facility proudly celebrate its centennial anniversary.
Established in 1924 as Meadowbrook Country Club and designed by the esteemed golf course architect Alex “Nipper” Campbell, Meadowbrook has been on a journey through the decades crafting unforgettable golfing and event experiences as a country club and now as a municipal course.
Meadowbrook’s storied history includes hosting Arnold Palmer in 1963 and has become a cornerstone of the Dayton golfing community.
The 18-hole, par 72 golf course and event facility was donated to the City of Clayton in 2014 and the city took over operations in 2015.
Under municipal management, the golf course hosts open play, leagues, outings, and the Northmont High School golf teams.
The event facility is a vibrant hub for community gatherings, events, and private rentals. Although Meadowbrook at Clayton has only been owned by Clayton for just under ten years, the city wanted to recognize this historic anniversary.
Celebrations kicked off the weekend of June 1 with a 100th Anniversary Golf Scramble and special presentation from the United States Golfing Association (USGA).
Staff, golfers, volunteers, and Clayton City Council members gathered to memorialize the special occasion when PGA, Executive Director/CEO of Miami Valley Golf Steve Jurick, presented the proclamation from the USGA.
Throughout the summer there will be engaging social media posts featuring historical insights into Meadowbrook’s rich heritage.

Your stories and photographs are not only cherished reminders of the facility’s shared history but also invaluable additions to the vibrant tapestry of Meadowbrook.
