CONGRESSIONAL COUNTRY CLUB

The Blue Course's brutal length and unforgiving rough have humbled major championship fields for decades, with its tree-lined fairways demanding precision over power through the rolling Maryland terrain. Congressional's signature closing stretch—particularly the downhill par-4 18th that has decided multiple U.S. Opens—rewards strategic thinking as much as ball-striking prowess. This Rees Jones redesign maintains the championship pedigree while offering public access to one of the Mid-Atlantic's most historically significant tests.
