The National Golf Club at Tantallon occupies rolling terrain in Fort Washington, Maryland, roughly ten miles south of Washington, D.C., along the Potomac River corridor. Designed by Ted Robinson and opened in the early 1990s, the course reflects Robinson's characteristic approach to resort and daily-fee layouts, incorporating water features and strategic bunkering across a property shaped by the region's natural contours. The setting provides views toward the Potomac and the surrounding Maryland countryside, with mature hardwoods framing many holes. Robinson's routing makes use of elevation changes and wooded corridors, creating separation between holes and variety in shot requirements. Water comes into play on several holes, both as natural drainage features and constructed hazards that define landing areas and green approaches. The bunkering style is traditional, with sand placed to challenge both tee shots and approach play. Green complexes vary in size and contour, rewarding accurate iron play while offering recovery options for skilled short-game execution. The course serves as a public facility accessible to the Washington metropolitan area's golfing population. It has hosted regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years, providing a tournament-caliber test for competitive players while remaining playable for recreational rounds. The layout's combination of length, hazard placement, and green complexity offers a solid examination of shot-making within the context of Maryland's mid-Atlantic golf landscape.
