  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 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.
