Washington Golf and Country Club (WGCC) is located in close proximity to the Nation’s Capital, just one of the many attractions of membership. The Georgian-style clubhouse sits on one of the highest points in historic Arlington, Virginia. It looks out over one of the most beautiful and challenging 18-hole golf courses in the region and offers views across the Potomac River to the skyline of Washington, D.C. Situated on over 130 aces, the WGCC complex also includes a newly renovated golf course, a new, state of the art golf practice facility, putting and practice greens, a swimming pool, 10 outdoor tennis courts, a five-court indoor tennis facility, and a recently renovated, well-equipped fitness center.
The clubhouse features formal and informal dining rooms, a tap room, a men’s grill, a ladies lounge, various outdoor dining areas, as well as a cocktail lounge, meeting and party rooms accommodating groups of 18 to 60 persons, and a large, attractive ballroom, with a capacity of 300-400.
The Club has approximately 1,500 members, each of whom has the privileges of all WGCC amenities. WGCC is one of the few clubs in the country with a healthy waiting list.
THE COURSE
Since 1921, members and guests have marveled at the Donald Ross/William Flynn designed course. Once known as the “Playground of Presidents,” the course offers a big challenge on a relatively small footprint. The course was recently renovated by Tom Doak (RGD), and is expected to open for play in April of 2020.
Washington Golf & Country Club is a premier club in the greater Washington, D.C. area and one of the top clubs in the country. The traditions and history of the course and its prominence in the lives of the membership are of paramount importance.
