Dinner at Park Country Club
Saturday, February 1, 2025
A delightful and delicious evening at Park Country Club, featuring the Mediterranean-inspired cuisine of Executive Chef Eric Nessa.
About the Venue
The Park Country Club was founded in 1903, and in 1927 moved from its original Delaware Ave location to Sheridan Drive where noted country club architect Clifford Charles Wendehack (who also designed Wingfoot) designed the clubhouse. The exquisite golf course was designed and built by an equally renowned golf course architectural firm, Colt & Alison. The Park Country Club was the location of the 1934 PGA Championship, as well as numerous amateur events. Now into their second “Century of Tradition,” recent renovations and additions have made it a first-rate country club.
