The Congressional country club is located in Bethesda, Maryland. The Country Club was opened in 1924. The Country Club took only two and a half years from the start of planning until it was ready for golf to be played on it. On May 23, 1924 Congressional was open for business. This course has been a popular place for presidents. Early in the clubs years of operation there was no budget and and was poorly run. The club got back on its feet in 1941 but was leased to the Government in 1943. In 1945 the club was returned to its members. There is not only a golf course at congressional there is a swimming pool, a bowling alley, and tennis courts. In the Summer of 1977 there was an additional nine holes added to the course so there was a grand total of 36 holes. There is the Blue Course and the Gold Course. Tiger Woods has hosted his tournament for a number of years. I have a been to Tiger Woods' tournament at congressional. That is the only PGA Tour tournament that I have ever been to. I had a blast, the course was in great shape and it is amazing to see all of the players that you watch on television in real life. Some of my favorite players were there and i got to follow them around and watch them play. It was a great experience for me and my dad. I would love to go back or go to another PGA tournament in the future.
