[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has way less older clubs than Philadelphia, Northern New Jersey, Westchester,Long Island and Boston. Even Baltimore prob has equal amount of clubs with less population. Golf craze took off early 20th century and these old close in clubs were built then. DC wasn’t an economically booming industrial area then like other Northeast cities.  So you only had a small handful of these clubs built then. In contrast Philly probably has 20 old clubs and metro NYC  probably 50 old clubs. [/quote]

This entirely.  DC had very little overall wealth until about 35 years ago.  Some wealthy people had homes in DC but they were not their primary residences.  Compared to the Northeast, DC so many less clubs which reflects this.  [/quote]

He's correct, the close-in DC legacy clubs are all about a century old, or more in some cases. Chevy, Columbia, Kenwood, Congressional, Washington Golf, Woodmont, Burning Tree, Belle Haven - they've been here a while.[/quote]
