[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say Congressional (yes, Congo) has hands down the best facilities.  Golf is clearly the best and the renovated pools, dining and workout area is tops.  It's pretty incredible.  [/quote]

Very strong argument for having the best facilities (and yes, it is close especially with respect to golf) at Congo, but the membership as a whole is weak.  That has always been the problem.  [/quote]

What an odd comment.  Care to elaborate PP?

(I also can't figure out your comment that the golf is "close."  What do you mean? Is hosting the US Open next year not good enough?)[/quote]

I would agree with the pp.  Membership at Chevy Chase and Columbia is much smaller (I believe Congressional has around 2,000 active golf memberships) while Columbia and Chevy Chase have under 1,000 active golf memberships.  People seem to know each other better at the smaller two clubs than at Congressional.

I don't think anyone would question Congressional's golf pedigree, but there is more to quality golf than hosting big tournaments.  Chevy Chase has hosted any number of big tournaments but due to the length of the course and its location, it has not hosted a US Open or anything of that caliber.  Columbia has hosted a US Open and a US Junior Amateur.  In short, I know many people who would much rather play Columbia and Chevy Chase as opposed to Congressional's Blue Course, but that is not to take away anything from Congressional.  They are all excellent courses.  [/quote]
