Founded in 1930 when industrialist Al Wenrick set out to turn 150 acres of Dayton-area farmland into a golf course, Walnut Grove Country Club has grown into one of the area's established private clubs. The course opened in 1935, operating initially as Green-Mont Country Club before taking its current name as the property came to straddle county lines.

The Main Dining Room, the club's largest space, overlooks the golf course and opens onto a patio, making it a natural fit for wedding receptions and larger events.

Outdoors, The Grove offers a covered, tree-shaded setting for ceremonies and reunions, and the Terrace — an open-air patio off the Main Dining Room — looks out over the landscaped grounds and swimming pool for casual dining and cocktails.
