What is the best country club in the DC area?

[Anonymous]

Chevy, if you are in DC, is a pretty good choice as an overall club but the course lags well behind Columbia, Congressional as well as a few others in the metro area. You wouldn't join there solely for golf.

Does Burning tree even count?

And I heard someone on here saying that they drove through burning tree and saw a bunch of old men playing golf with their shirts off. Not exactly top quality country club material to me

but you won;t see any women there doing that.

Exactly. I think of burning tree more as a men's golf club, not a country club. I dont think it qualifies as being in the elite anymore, it's been left behind. I wouldnt even put it in top 5.

President Eisenhower used to golf there regularly.

Compared to The Chevy Chase Club, Bethesda and Columbia are so nouveau.

If women were ever allowed to golf there, maybe they would.

When it comes to social ills that I get worked up about, like extreme poverty, dictatorship and disease, all-male exclusive golf clubs just don't get me very excited. Let the old goats go off and whack their balls around.

Ha, is this meant to be taken seriously?? God I hope so for my personal entertainment value. (non-country club person here)

It would be more interesting if they did.

Well I'd like that if they did. And they were young. And fit. Wait . . . Such a place does not really exist does it.

You are gross.

You are a prude aren't you.

I mean the most respected overall, hardest to get into. Just generally considered the most prestigious and exclusive.

Burning Tree. You don't ask to be invited. They ask you.

Not a country club, for the umpteenth time.

Ha. Walk in and look at the pictures of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge attending the 1921 US Open at Columbia.

Not so nouveau. More like a tradition.

On what basis? How do they even know who exists and why they want to invite them to join? Are all the members politicians or prominent lobbyists, doctors, law firm partners? (Obviously I am not a country club person. Also female so even if I were POTUS, would not get an invitation.)

I also wonder what the point is of a country club but that's for another thread ...
