Who played golf at Woodmont?
Also, Woodmont has hosted numerous dignitaries and events during the years. Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Clinton, and Obama and Vice President Quayle played golf or otherwise visited the Club.
When was Woodmont Country Club founded?
Woodmont Country Club was founded in 1913 as the Washington Suburban Club on leased property in what was then rolling countryside off Georgia Avenue, in northwest Washington, D.C. The founders enjoyed the increasingly popular game of golf on their 9-hole course.
When did the Town and Country Club become a card club?
In 1916, to reflect these dual locations and the merger with two other in-town card clubs, the Club became the Town and Country Club. In 1922, the property owner terminated the Club's lease. In response, the Club bought 116 acres at Rockville Pike and Woodmont Circle in Bethesda, Maryland, and built a 9-hole course.
