Golf Membership

The Heritage of Golf at ECC

Elyria Country Club boasts a William S. Flynn designed golf course. The natural landscape is carved through nature. Every level of golfer is challenged through the park-like setting.

Members enjoy easy tee times with no lottery systems or scheduling obstacles. Most rounds start and finish in four hours or less. Our competitive comparison demonstrates cost advantages. The club routinely reinvests into the historic golf course through the capital reserve fund. The heritage and challenge of the golf course endures.
