Description
Established more than 100 years ago by a merger of several prominent social clubs in Washington, D.C., Woodmont Country Club was originally located on a bluff above Georgia Avenue and Decatur Streets, but was moved in 1921 to Bethesda at what is now the site of the National Institutes of Health and again in 1950 to its present location in Rockville on 459 lush, beautiful acres.
Woodmont has hosted U.S. Presidents and Vice Presidents, Heads of State from other countries, Governors of Maryland, Mayors of the District of Columbia, as well as many other dignitaries and celebrities. Over the years, the club’s courses have accommodated many special golf events including the 1953 National Celebrities Tournament then a regular event on the Professional Tour, the regional qualifying for the Men’s and Ladies’ U.S. Open Golf Championships, and all of the various championships of each of the local golf associations both amateur and professional.
Woodmont Country Club also is home to tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a fitness and wellness center.
