Montgomery Country Club


About this course
Montgomery Country Club sits in the rolling countryside of Laytonsville, Maryland, roughly twenty miles northwest of Washington, D.C. The course was designed by Ed Ault, a prolific mid-Atlantic architect whose work from the 1960s through the 1990s includes dozens of layouts across Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Ault's designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain features available on each property. The Montgomery course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Maryland Piedmont, with elevation changes that create visual interest and strategic variety throughout the round. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, with mature hardwoods framing many holes. Water features come into play on several holes, and bunkers are positioned to define landing areas and guard greens in Ault's straightforward style. As a private country club, Montgomery serves its membership with traditional amenities including dining facilities and social programming. The course provides a familiar setting for member play, club competitions, and regular league activity typical of established suburban clubs in the greater Washington area. The layout offers a solid test of golf without excessive length or severe hazards, reflecting Ault's philosophy of creating courses that reward good shotmaking while remaining accessible to the broader membership.

Getting there
Montgomery Country Club sits in the rolling countryside north of Washington, D.C., accessible most directly via Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) or Washington Dulles International (IAD), each roughly 45 minutes to an hour from the club depending on traffic patterns through the Maryland suburbs. The drive north from either airport carries you through the gradual transition from the urban corridor into Montgomery County's quieter horse country, where manicured estates and tree-lined roads signal your approach to Laytonsville. For those arriving by private aviation, Maryland's numerous regional strips offer convenient alternatives, though the final miles to the club unfold along peaceful country lanes that feel worlds removed from the capital's bustle despite their proximity. The club's entrance, nestled among mature oaks and open fairways, arrives as a serene punctuation to a journey that begins in one of America's busiest metropolitan regions yet concludes in genuine pastoral calm.
