Lakewood Country Club sits in Rockville, Maryland, a suburban community northwest of Washington, D.C. The course was designed by Ed Ault and Al Jamison, a partnership active in the mid-Atlantic region during the latter half of the twentieth century. Ault, in particular, developed a substantial portfolio of public and semi-private courses throughout Maryland, Virginia, and neighboring states, often working on projects that balanced playability with the rolling terrain common to the area. The Rockville setting places Lakewood within the Piedmont landscape characteristic of Montgomery County, where modest elevation changes and mature tree cover shape the playing corridors. Courses in this region typically feature parkland routing through wooded properties, with fairways defined by hardwoods and occasional water features that add strategic interest without dominating play. The design likely reflects Ault's practical approach: accessible to a range of skill levels while offering enough variety in hole length and hazard placement to test better players. Lakewood serves a membership drawn from the surrounding suburban communities, functioning as a traditional country club with golf as the centerpiece of its amenities. The club provides a local venue for recreational and competitive play within the greater Washington metropolitan area, where demand for private club golf has remained steady across decades. The course represents the kind of regional design work that forms the backbone of American golf, offering a familiar parkland experience shaped by the natural contours and vegetation of its Maryland location.
