Definition: A social and recreational facility that is usually private or semi-private. A golf course that was part of a private country club would only be open to members or guests who are accompanied by members. A semi-private country club would allow some access to non-members. In addition to a golf course, a typical country club might also have a restaurant or social club, tennis and swim facilities.
