International at International Country Club

International Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Fairfax, Virginia, a suburban area west of Washington, D.C. The course was designed by Ed Ault and Tom Clark, both of whom worked extensively in the Mid-Atlantic region during the latter half of the twentieth century. Ault, in particular, designed or renovated numerous courses across Virginia, Maryland, and neighboring states, often creating layouts that work with natural land movement rather than imposing dramatic earthwork.

The routing at International takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of northern Virginia. Mature hardwoods frame many holes, and the layout features a mix of doglegs and straightaway holes that require accurate placement off the tee. Water comes into play on several holes, and the greens present varied contours that reward local knowledge. The design reflects the practical, member-focused approach common to many private clubs built or renovated during the era when Ault and Clark were active.

International Country Club serves a membership drawn largely from the Fairfax area and the broader Washington metropolitan region. The club offers traditional country club amenities alongside the golf course, including dining facilities and social programming. The course provides a familiar test for members who play it regularly, with enough variety in hole design and shot requirements to maintain interest across repeat rounds.
