[quote=Anonymous]Without a doubt Chevy is the top of the heap.  Within the "country club set" it is the most prestigious and selective.  Congressional is also very prestigious.  Columbia not as much.  Kenwood is easy to get into (minimal waitlist) so it doesn't have the prestige, but its a friendly and fun club with lots of really nice members.  Truly, when you speak of the most prestgious in terms of country clubs, its mostly about how hard it is to get in and WHO gets in.  Of course many of them restrict membership to certain types of people, that is pretty much the point of "country clubs" which are private and can admit and reject whom they choose.  The in town clubs (Metropolitan, Cosmos, University, Sulgrave) are equally exclusive and restrictive of membership but in regards to different criteria.  It is the world of private clubs, like it or not, and how they operate.  Washington Golf and Country Club is for Arlingtonians and has little to no presence in Washington-proper's social scene but is THE big deal in Arlington.  Bellhaven is the big one for those in Alexandria and that part of Virginia.  Woodmont is mostly Jewish and for the Potomac crowd.  Burning Tree is one of the few clubs left that does not admit women.  Its for serious male golfers and is getting rather geriatric I hear (heh heh).

You really do not need to worry about this just because your child is in private school but that's the general and frank scoop on Washington's clubs.[/quote]
