[quote=Anonymous]While the people discussing race and discrimination aren't wrong, they're missing the simple, actual answer, which is that at the time most of these clubs were founded, there simply weren't any public golf courses in the area. East Potomac was one of if not the first public golf course in the area, and it opened in 1921. Montgomery County didn't open their first public golf course until the 1960's. Meanwhile, the Chevy Chase Club opened in 1892. Columbia in 1898. Burning Tree in 1922. These clubs formed when being in a private club was literally your only option to play golf. [/quote]
