About this course
The Country Club at Woodmore sits in Mitchellville, Maryland, roughly midway between Washington, D.C. and Annapolis in Prince George's County. Arnold Palmer designed the course, which opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential community development. The layout reflects Palmer's characteristic approach to accessible championship golf, with strategic bunkering and water hazards that come into play on several holes while allowing multiple routes for players of different skill levels. The course occupies gently rolling terrain typical of the Maryland Piedmont region, with mature tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that add visual interest and strategic variety to the routing. Water features appear throughout the design, requiring thoughtful club selection and course management. The layout incorporates both risk-reward opportunities and more straightforward holes, creating a balanced test that accommodates daily play while providing enough challenge for competitive rounds. Woodmore has served as a venue for various regional tournaments and qualifiers, contributing to the competitive golf landscape in the greater Washington metropolitan area. The club operates as a private facility with a membership that reflects the diverse professional community of the surrounding suburbs. The clubhouse provides traditional country club amenities including dining facilities that serve the membership for both casual rounds and organized events throughout the season.

Getting there
The journey to the Country Club at Woodmore begins at either Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) or Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), both roughly thirty to forty minutes away depending on traffic patterns through the Capital Beltway corridor. The drive east from Washington traces the familiar rhythms of suburban Maryland - Interstate 495 giving way to local parkways that wind through Prince George's County's wooded residential enclaves. As the density softens and the canopy deepens, the transition feels less like leaving the city than ascending into its quieter, more refined margins, where Woodmore's gates mark arrival at one of the region's most distinguished private club addresses.
