First, a little history:
Oakwood Country Club is the outgrowth of a small group of men who would gather on weekends at a little cottage near
Navarre called the Wade Inn. Early in 1922, Henry Firestone gave these men a grant of land on what was known as the
Firestone Farm. The site is where Oakwood is now located.
Charter members included Adam Shirk, Bill Leed, George Wade, Paul Walton, Bill Clark, Paul Hartung, Frank Cavender,
Cal Zimmer, Earl Young, Warren Weimer and Nate Wright. Their first on-site club house was built with their own hands and
cost $1,200. If you have any questions

In 1924, Bill Clark brought several golf clubs and a few 10-cent golf balls to the club. So much interest was shown
in this new game that swampy pastureland was rolled out and three holes of golf were created. It was not until
July 4, 1929, that the present nine hole course was opened with founding father, George Wade, driving the first ball.
If you are interested in taking a closer look, call a person on the membership committee for a
personalized visit and/or round of golf.
