View Discussion

Clearview GC is a golf course in East Canton, Ohio. The head professional is Renee Powell, the second African-American woman ever to play on the LPGA Tour. Her father, William J. Powell, designed and built the course.

Clearview Golf Course's layout includes gently rolling terrain and undulating greens serving as a challenge to experienced golfers, while providing an enjoyable round for those players who are new to the game.

Course architect William "Bill" Powell began construction of Clearview Golf Club in 1946. The first nine holes opened for business in 1948. The second nine holes were added in 1978.

Via Clearview GC

Golfer and World War II veteran William J. Powell, excluded from playing on many American golf courses because of his race, overcame the indignity of discrimination by creating his own course. Hand built in two years and opened in 1948, Clearview Golf Club is the first golf course in the United States designed, built, and owned by an African-American. The acclaimed course harmonizes with the landscape and bears many design elements of traditional British courses. A triumph of perseverance over discrimination, Clearview represents the historic postwar era when athletes first broke the "color line" in American sports.
