About Country Club At Woodmoore
The Country Club at Woodmore began its storied history in 1923 as Beaver Dam Golf and Country Club on Landover Road. Designed by noted golf architect Donald Ross, the course opened for play on August 16, 1923 as a par 72, 6,775-yard layout from the blue tees. In 1941 the Club was bought and re-named Prince George's Country Club.
"Old P.G.," as it was known to many members and friends, was host to a number of championship events, including the National Capital Open in 1947 and 1948. Lloyd Mangrum won this event in 1947, and Skip Alexander won it in 1948. The U.S. Women's Open Championship, also hosted by Old P.G., and was won by Louise Suggs in 1949 when she defeated Babe Didrikson; both of whom are founding members of the LPGA.
In 1979, the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission purchased the golf course and its facilities for use as a recreational area for the county. The Club then moved to its current location at the corner of Enterprise and Woodmore Roads in Mitchellville, Maryland. The new course, designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, for the new Prince George's Country Club opened for play in 1981, as a par 72, 7,059-yard course from the championship tees.
Acquired by Concert Golf Partners in 2014, Country Club at Woodmore offers an unmatched golf experience for residents in Maryland and Northern Virginia. Along with golf, members enjoy both a full size and kiddie pool, three tennis courts, indoor and outdoor dining options, and a year round social calendar of events.
