From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Catawba Island Club is a prestigious private club located on Lake Erie's Ohio Shore. Originally established in 1928 as The Catawba Cliffs Beach Club, Inc. as a family 'outdoors' club for the Catawba Cliffs community developed by the J.H. Bellows Company. The facility was purchased in the fall of 1967 by James Stouffer Sr., son of Stouffer Foods found Vernor Stouffer, and reopened in the Spring of 1968 as Catawba Island Club. The Stouffer family has kept true to the original mission...'uniting the whole family instead of separating the family as a unit.

Renowned for its natural beauty, Catawba Island Club is nestled into a quite section of the Western Basin of Lake Erie. The Catawba Island Club offers boating (two marinas), an Arthur Hills designed golf course, fitness, tennis, two pools, and multiple dining and event venues. In addition to the multiple dining options, 'watering holes', and meeting rooms, the four story main club building, originally constructed in 1933, has 35 hotel rooms available to club members and their guests.

Geography

[edit]

Catawba Island Club is located within the Catawba Island Township, one of the twelve townships of Ottawa County, Ohio, United States. The 2000 census found 3,157 people in the township.[1] Aside from Mouse Island, there is not a single notable island within the township.The township is located in the northeastern part of the county on the northern point of the Marblehead Peninsula, forming its own peninsula — not an island — into Lake Erie. T

The primary part of The Club occupies approximately one thousand two hundred linear feet of direct Lake Erie shoreline. The harbor which was originally constructed in 1928 at a cost of $100,000 has direct access to Lake Erie via a three hundred fifty foot man made channel. The 'south' marina is located less than one half mile within a natural harbor also with direct access to Lake Erie.
