Club History: Oldest Private Country Club in the State of Florida

One of the first country clubs in the State of Florida, Pensacola Country Club was founded on November 5, 1902, with the acquisition of land located on beautiful Pensacola Bay. A two-story clubhouse was erected, and concrete tennis courts constructed.

In the early years PCC was primarily a social club, and its "amusements" consisted of tennis, Ten Pins, croquet, bathing, family picnics, and dancing. Golf came to PCC around 1903 when the first nine holes were built on nearby property which was then deeded to the Pensacola Country Club on June 4, 1905.

The first clubhouse was destroyed in the hurricane of 1906 but was subsequently rebuilt and enlarged on the same location. A new main club building was purchased in 1924 and club activities were moved from the older clubhouse.

On May 16, 1925, additional land was leased, and the club added a back nine. Ultimately PCC came to own this property and on November 10, 1925, the new Pensacola Country Club Corporation was formed.

The stately clubhouse became the center of social life for Country Club members. Within a short time, a ballroom was constructed on the north side, which eventually was redesigned for the men's and women's locker rooms. Few major improvements in the clubhouse facilities were made during the next twenty-five years. Attention was concentrated on the development and maintenance of the golf course and tennis courts. The Club grew in membership and the 18-hole golf course became known as one of the finest along the Gulf Coast.

During the 1950's, PCC added a new ballroom, the swimming pool, and the men's lounge. The tennis courts were refurbished and the sprinkling system for the fairways and greens was completed. With these improvements the use of the Club grew steadily, not only by playing members but also by the whole family. The tennis matches, swimming and diving contests, social functions, and golf tournaments (highlighted by the Pensacola Invitational and culminating in the P.G.A. event) are evidence of the important part the Country Club came to play in our community.

In 1993, the clubhouse was expanded and a second kitchen, two meeting rooms and a men's grill were added. In 1995, the tennis courts were completely refurbished.

In September 2004, Hurricane Ivan made a direct landfall on Pensacola and left little of the Clubhouse, golf facilities and course. The membership stepped forward and through much discussion, debate, and struggle, moved ahead with the plan for the "Second Century" of the Pensacola Country Club. The course was redesigned by Pensacola's own; Jerry Pate and the course reconstruction was underway. As the course was rebuilt, earth was moved to elevate the current club site 17 feet to better weather storms.

Carter Quina of Quina Grundhoefer Architects designed a traditional and stately new "home" for our clubhouse. When the course reopened in 2006 for the golfing membership, the clubhouse ground-breaking was held and construction began. The grand gala event held on January 18, 2008, welcomed almost 600
members back to begin our "Second Century" of creating memories and celebrating families and friends in our new elegant clubhouse and facilities.
