Country club
A country club is a privately owned club, often with a closed membership, that generally offers both a variety of recreational sports and facilities for dining and entertaining. Typical athletic offerings are golf, tennis, and swimming. A country club is most commonly located in city outskirts or suburbs,〔(AskOxford: country club )〕 and is distinguised from an urban athletic club by having substantial grounds for outdoor activities.
Country clubs originated in Scotland〔Wray Vamplew, “Sharing Space: Inclusion, Exclusion and Accommodation at the British Golf Club before 1914” Journal of Sport and Social Issues 34, no. 359 (2010): 359, doi: 10.1177/0193723510377327.〕 and first appeared in the US in the early 1880s.〔Simon, Roger D. “Country Clubs.” In The Encyclopedia of American Urban History, edited by David R. Goldfield, 193-94. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc., 2007. doi: 10.4135/9781412952620.n110.〕 Country clubs had a profound effect on expanding suburbanization〔Gordon, John Steele, (“The Country Club” ). American Heritage 41, no.6 (1990): 75〕 and are considered to be the precursor to gated community development.〔
