Jermaine and consisted of nine unique holes carved among the dense forest and swamp lands.  Almost immediately, an expansion project began.  Initially three holes were added, then two more.  By the late 40's, the completion of nine additional holes was achieved.  In 1954, golf course architect Robert Bruce Harris redesigned the 18 hole golf course that you see today. The original Clubhouse, which resembled a large blue barn with a wraparound porch, stood in the same location that exists today. In the mid-1980's the Glengarry Clubhouse fell victim to a destructive fire and burnt to the ground. In 1988, the Club was acquired by Cavalear Properties Limited Partnership and in 2001, ownership was transferred to the Membership of Stone Oak Country Club.  Throughout this time, Stone Oak has developed into a popular, upscale residential country club community.   Strackaline Thanks to a partnership with the Northern Ohio Golf Association, StrackaLine books can be purchased for a reduced price.
