ARMY NAVY COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Fairfax, VA, USA
Designed by Tom Clark
Army Navy Country Club's White/Blue combination in Fairfax, Virginia, represents one of two eighteen-hole routings available at this private club established to serve military officers and their families. Tom Clark designed the courses, which opened in the 1960s after the club relocated from its original Arlington location near the Pentagon. The move to Fairfax provided the space for thirty-six holes of golf on rolling terrain characteristic of Northern Virginia's Piedmont region.
The White and Blue nines combine to create a traditional parkland layout that winds through mature hardwood forests and over moderate elevation changes. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes playing along ridgelines and through wooded corridors. Water features appear on several holes, and the design emphasizes strategic positioning off the tee to set up approach shots to elevated or contoured greens.
The club maintains a strong military tradition, with membership historically drawn from the officer ranks of all service branches. This heritage shapes the club's culture and atmosphere, though membership has expanded over the decades to include civilians as well. The facility serves as both a recreational retreat and a gathering place for the military community in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
The White/Blue combination provides a solid test of golf without excessive length, relying on accuracy and course management rather than pure distance. The layout suits a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge for competitive play among the membership.
