Donald Ross, Robert Trent Jones, and Rees Jones all added to the redesign. A superbly
challenging course.
Just outside Washington D.C., this storied course had its beginnings in the early 1920s.
On its opening day in 1924, Congressional boasted the attendance of President Calvin
Coolidge, many diplomats, and an estimated 10,000 on-lookers. Even the laying of the
cornerstone included the involvement of future President Herbert Hoover in 1923.
This superbly challenging course has provided a focus for major tournament golf in the
nation's capital, having hosted four national championships and four Kemper Opens.
In 1961, Robert Trent Jones was called upon to redesign Congressional in preparation
for the 1964 US Open, and in 1990, his son, Rees Jones, added some finishing touches.
This father/son combination, known for attention to detail, has produced a stunning
championship layout. This site of the 1997 US Open feature the Blue Course- 7219 yards
of Maryland charm.
Enjoy teeing-off where Presidents and dignitaries have golfed for over 72 years.
