our history
Catawba Island Club is a private club located on Lake Erie's Ohio Shore. It was originally established in 1928 as The Catawba Cliffs Beach Club, Inc., as a private, family-oriented resort for the Catawba Cliffs community. The facility was purchased in the fall of 1967 by James Stouffer Sr., son of Stouffer Foods founder Vernon Stouffer, and was given its new life as a premier yachting and country club in the spring of 1968 as the Catawba Island Club. The Club has been owned and operated by the Stouffer family since its inception and continues proudly with the later generations of the Stouffer family.
CIC is known for its beautiful, natural location and is nestled on the Northwestern end of the Catawba Peninsula within the Catawba Island Township. The township is located in the Northeastern part of the county on the Northern point of the Marblehead Peninsula, forming its own peninsula - not an island - into Lake Erie.
The family-friendly concept is a 90-year tradition, and this tradition is even stronger in today’s culture. Members and their families gather at CIC to renew friendships, make new friends and pass the time with loved ones. Club activities and events are conceived to provide a wide range of choices for all age groups across third and fourth generation CIC family members. CIC has always been a family-friendly club with many multi-generational families making CIC their “home away from home.” These families have enjoyed some of their fondest times at CIC, whether it was at one of our pools, on the golf course, at the tennis courts or just watching our unparalleled sunsets while sipping their favorite beverage.
