[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would live under a rock if you have not heard of Chevy Chase Club. [/quote]

If you live in DC and are into golf /clubs maybe.

As a test I asked friends last night who are members at The Country Club of Brookline, The Philadelphia Cricket Club and Oakmont.  Sorry to disappoint you but Congo is the only club in the area they have ever heard of and they all travel to DC semi-regularly.  Interestingly two did know of Kinloch; but not exactly "in the area".  Highly rated courses that hold majors trump perceived exclusivity in a local area all day, every day for anyone and everyone into golf. [/quote]

This is not entirely true.

I play 100 rounds a year and exclusivity is the thing that most people want.   You want to play the place that is hard to get on.  For instance, most golfers would rather play Burning Tree than Congressional because it is more difficult to play BT - There are a thousand golfing members at Congressional.  Chevy is great but doesn't really have a national reputation.

If somebody were coming in from outside the area, they would probably want to play Burning Tree, Congressional, Caves Valley or Kinloch given the choice.  [/quote]
