Located in the suburbs northwest of Washington DC, Congressional Country Club is one of the most famous clubs in Maryland.

36 Holes of Championship Level Golf

It's probably safe to say that Congressional Country Club is the favorite Maryland club of the major US golf organizations. The club has hosted U.S. Opens, PGA Championships, Senior US Opens and annual PGA Tour events of various names (AT&T National, Booz Allen Classic, Kemper Open).

The club has two courses, the Blue and the Gold. The Blue course was given a major renovation in 2020 and was selected to be the venue for the 2027 Women's PGA Championship, the 2031 PGA Championship and the 2037 Ryder Cup.
