Clearview Golf Course is a par-71 public course in East Canton, OH.
Clearview Golf Course in East Canton holds a unique place in American golf history as the first golf course designed, built, and operated by an African American, founded by William J. Powell in 1946 when segregation barred Black golfers from mainstream courses. Powell—a World War II veteran who returned to Stark County determined to build what was denied to him—created Clearview from raw farmland over decades of personal labor alongside a regular job, making it a monument to persistence and to the game's democratic possibility. The course has been maintained by the Powell family and recognized as a historic site, and playing Clearview means participating in a story that transcends sport and connects directly to the history of American civil rights.
