It’s almost an understatement to say that the Baltimore Country Club is a great country club. It’s widely regarded as one of the best country clubs in the US, and it’s also generally listed as one of the top 100 country clubs in the whole world.
Here you have 36 holes of championship golf, starting with the Par 70 East Course designed by A. W. Tillinghast. It has made Golfweek’s list of America’s Top 100 Classic Courses several times over the years, with the most recent listing in 2020.
This is the course hosted several prestigious tourneys. These include the US Open, the PGA Championship, the US Amateur, the Walker Cup, the US Women’s Open, and the Seniors Players Championship from 2007 to 2009.
The 2nd golf course is at Five Farms, and was redesigned in 1990 by Bob Cupp and Tom Kite. It was again renovated under the guidance of Keith Foster.
But it’s not all about golf. Here you have a fitness center with 5,000 square feet of space with terrific gym equipment. The swim complex is just great, with a feel that you’re in a resort. It offers 3 swimming pools with grass lawns, along with a cabana and dining patios.
Members enjoy a fantastic tennis facility, and it’s considered the best in the whole Mid-Atlantic area. The racquets area includes international-level squash courts, and pickleball courts with clinics and lessons hosted by the best instructors in the country. You can also learn to play paddle tennis and perhaps eventually join in club tourneys.
And for some lighthearted fun, there are also 6 duckpin bowling lanes. These are great for kids, as the bowling balls aren’t as heavy.
The dining options are fantastic as well, ranging from mahogany rooms with fireside dining, to outdoor dining with terrific views.
Membership shouldn’t be hard to come by, as the country club has 3,300 members in all categories. The full golf membership offers complete access to everything, while the social membership offers everything but the golf. If you’re married, the two of you are expected to apply as a couple. The initiation fee is $45,000 but there aren’t any firm reports regarding the annual or monthly dues.
