Four Streams Golf Club


About this course
Four Streams Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in Beallsville, Maryland, a rural area in the western part of Montgomery County near the Potomac River. The course was designed by Steve Smyers in collaboration with Nick Price, the Zimbabwean golfer who won three major championships during the 1990s. Smyers, known for his work on courses like Southern Dunes in Florida, typically emphasizes strategic options and natural landforms in his designs. Price's involvement brought a player's perspective to the routing and shot values. The property features the kind of elevation changes and wooded corridors characteristic of the Maryland Piedmont, with streams threading through the landscape. Smyers designs often incorporate wide playing corridors with strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful course management over pure distance. The collaboration with Price suggests attention to green complexes and approach shot angles that test skilled ball-strikers while remaining playable for a range of abilities. Four Streams operates as a private club serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The course provides a relatively secluded golf experience despite its proximity to suburban development, taking advantage of the natural screening offered by the wooded Maryland countryside. The club represents one of several modern designs built in the region during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a period when the Washington area saw expansion of private golf facilities catering to the area's growing population of golf enthusiasts.

Getting there
Four Streams Golf Club sits nestled in the rolling countryside of northern Maryland, roughly ninety minutes northwest of Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), the primary gateway for most visitors. The drive unfolds through the gentle transition from suburban sprawl into horse country, where manicured estates and split-rail fencing signal entry into the club's private enclave near Beallsville. Those arriving by private aviation will find nearby options in the region, though the final approach by car winds through quiet back roads that feel deliberately removed from the capital's orbit - a fitting prelude to one of the Mid-Atlantic's most discreetly situated private clubs. The arrival at Four Streams marks the culmination of a journey that trades the Beltway's bustle for the serene, wooded sanctuary that defines this exclusive membership.
