OCC was originally developed as a golf club for Jews (organized 1905). For several months prior to the chip order, Oakwood fully overhauled its golf course making it one of the best in Cleveland.  In 1930 the Cleveland Plain Dealer described Oakwood as “one of the most influential clubs in the Midwest and always has a large waiting list for its membership of 300.” 

In 1930 the OCC voted to bring into its club the membership of an old Jewish social club called the Excelsior Club. In 1930 they also they planned a major addition to the club house.
