Country club

A country club is a privately owned club, often with a closed membership, that generally offers both a variety of recreational sports and facilities for dining and entertaining. Typical athletic offerings are golf, tennis, and swimming. A country club is most commonly located in city outskirts or suburbs, and is distinguished from an urban athletic club by having substantial grounds for outdoor activities.

Country clubs originated in Scotland and first appeared in the US in the early 1880s. Country clubs had a profound effect on expanding suburbanization and are considered to be the precursor to gated community development.

Country clubs can be exclusive organizations. In small towns, membership in the country club is often not as exclusive or expensive as in larger cities where there is competition for a limited number of memberships. In addition to the fees, some clubs have additional requirements to join. For example, membership can be limited to those who reside in a particular housing community.

    Country Club

    by: Travis Tritt

    Drift off to Dream'
    As I sit here surrounded, By people and lights
    Along with my drink at the bar
    You've been here forever, So clear in my mind
    I just don't know where you are
    But I know I'll find you, But girl till I do
    This is my love song for you
    Let's hold hands on the porch swing
    Under the moon
    While the wind through the willows
    Plays us a tune
    We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard
    And wish for our future
    On a far away star
    And you'll feel the passion, As time after time
    I press your sweet lips to mine
    We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
    Till you drift off
    To dream in my arms
    You might be hundreds, Or more miles away
    Or you might be just down the street
    But there'll be a hunger, Deep in your eyes
    That I'll recognize when we meet
    It might take hours, Or it might take years
    But this is the song you will hear
    Let's hold hands on the porch swing
    Under the moon
    While the wind through the willows
    Plays us a tune
    We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard
    And wish for our future
    On a far away star
    And you'll feel the passion, As time after time
    I press your sweet lips to mine
    We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
    Till you drift off
    To dream in my arms
    And you'll feel the passion
    As time after time
    I press your sweet lips to mine
    We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
    Till you drift off
    To dream in my arms'
