Item Description

Congressional Country Club (Blue)
Bethesda, Md. / 7,278 yards, Par 72 / Points: 61.6304
Congressional Country Club and golf course in Bethesda, Maryland opened in 1924. Its Blue Course has hosted five major championships, including three U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship.
Congressional is a Rees Jones redo of a course that was substantially his father's work, long criticized as featuring too many uphill shots. When Rees remodeled it he provided definition. Now golfers stand on a tee and see the entire hole, all the hazards, all the strategies and potential penalties. The greens are gentle enough for member play but can be mowed to 14 on a Stimpmeter for tournaments. Congressional once had a par-3 18th. Rees reversed its direction and made it into the long, strong par-3 10th. The old 17th with a dramatic peninsula green is now the permanent 18th.
