The club has been a recreation haven in Coles County for more than a century. It was established as the Coles Country Club in 1911 by 75 members from Charleston and Mattoon. The name changed in 1923 when the membership split. The grounds were originally part of Urban Park, created on the interurban electric car route west of Charleston. The park featured a dancing pavilion, bowling alleys, swings, a merry-go-round, ball grounds, an artificial lake, and a menagerie. The interurban stopped running in 1927, and the park closed. The Charleston Country Club took over the grounds. The course expanded to 18 holes in the summer of 1993. The club continually renovates its course and facilities for member enjoyment. Charleston Country Club combines its long-standing history in Coles County with modern golf and catering services, serving the Charleston community with a focus on family and recreation.
