Greensburg Country Club was organized in October of 1900 by President, F. Y. Clopper; Secretary, James T. Brunot; Treasurer, Leo Furtwangler; and an Executive Committee consisting of O. C. Ogden, Esq., John F. Wentling, Jr., Esq., and Thomas Donohoe, Jr. The course was layed out by Mr. P. B. Graham of Carnoustie, Scotland on Colonel Clopper's farm. At the time, the Club had a membership of 30 people.

The Club was officially chartered on October 26, 1904, at approximately the same time the actual work of constructing the Clubhouse had begun. The Clubhouse, designed ans decorated by H. Van Tina of Pittsburgh, was built on the hill at the rear of the orchard with the foundation walls and the two huge chimneys built of sandstone quarried on the farm. The superstructure was of pine covered with cedar shingles in their natural finish.

Excerpts from the local paper, dating back to 1908, encompass and give a mental picture of how the Clubhouse looked in its early days:

"...a more beautiful site for a Club House could hardly be imagined, topping a slight knoll, which over-looks the entire course yet screened from the railroad and public road by a few gnarled and aged fruit trees, the remains of some farmer's orchard. A beautiful gravel drive lead up to the house, lined along each side with shrubbery. The House itself is not an immense affair, but is amply large enough for the purpose...a spacious porch almost entirely surrounds the House, where easy chairs and settees of rustic furniture invite those inclined to look on rather than partake of the sport...the nine-hole golf course is one of the best of its kind in the state..."

Of particular historical note is the old farmhouse on the Club's property, which traditionally has been used for housing the Club's Groundskeeper. The house was built in 1796 and has been entered in the Westmoreland County Historical Committee's archives. Some historians believe it to be one of the oldest stone houses west of the Allegheny Mountain range.

Unfortunately, over the long history of the Club, fires have done great damage to its facilities and records. The largest fire hit only five years after its original construction in December 1909 and virtually destroyed the entire Clubhouse. A new Clubhouse was constructed from the original foundation in the summer of 1910.

Additional property purchases over the years expanded the Golf Course to eighteen holes in the late 1930s and early 40s. With the aging of the Clubhouse facilities and the need for additional space, the Board of Governors initiated new construction programs in 1958 and again in 1978.

Another fire, April 15, 1999, destroyed the kitchen, offices and member dining areas. A brand new Clubhouse was dedicated July 14, 2001. The Club's facilities now provide two private members' dining areas, multi-purpose banquet facilities, ballroom for dancing and entertaining, full-service Men and Women's locker rooms, kitchen, in-house laundry and offices. The grounds of the Club feature an 18-hole golf course, large practice areas, swimming pool and cabana.

Throughout its rich history, the Club has enjoyed the distinction of being the center of the Greensburg Community's Social Activities Calendar, and at the present time numbers over five hundred memberships of all categories.
