Located several miles outside the urban Columbus African American community, the club "in the country" provided space and opportunity for sports, athletics, and physical recreation.
Advertisements, festivals, and articles over the years show a wide variety of SPORTS including baseball, croquet, horseshoes, softball, badminton, and volleyball.
In particular, GOLF was an important part of the country club experience. At different times the Big Walnut Country Club had a driving range and a five hole golf course.
