International Country Club

Few golf destinations in the Washington, D.C. metro area carry quite the history of International Country Club, a private club whose name reflects its origins as a gathering place for the diplomatic and international business communities that define Northern Virginia's character. The course sits in Fairfax County, one of the most affluent and educated counties in the nation, where the leafy suburbs gradually give way to mature hardwood forests — the kind of rolling, wooded terrain that gives mid-Atlantic golf its distinctive seasonal drama, from the dogwood-lined springs to the brilliant fall canopy.
