The Kirtland Country Club began as Leo Doro Farms, the estate of Mrs. Henry A. Everett – including the stone mansion built in 1910 that is now the Clubhouse. The property was purchased by stockholders in 1920 and the Club formally opened on July 9, 1921 with 233 members.
Between 1921 and 1922, there was construction of a river dam, four Tennis Courts, Polo Fields, Swimming Pool and Men’s Lockerhouse. The Golf Course, designed by internationally known English architect Captain C.H. Allison, opened in 1922 as well.
The Indoor Tennis Building was constructed in the late 1960s and then renovated in 1989 to add a third court and the locker areas.
A massive fire completely destroyed the Clubhouse building in 1975; and, the new Clubhouse was constructed and reopened in 1976.
In 2008, the Clubhouse was renovated to add the Club Room, and to update the West Porch with French Doors, heating & air conditioning, as well as restoring the fireplace. Also in 2008, the Golf Course restoration was completed.
