The District of Columbia contains five named golf courses and country clubs documented in the United States Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of named places. These facilities are distributed across five cities and one county.
Because the GNIS catalogs named geographic features rather than tracking operating businesses, the directory represents a partial and dated snapshot of golf facilities in the region. A newly established course or one that has undergone a recent name change may not yet appear in the federal record. Additionally, the GNIS does not capture operational details such as public or private status, membership fees, course layout, or current hours of operation.
The list serves as a starting point for locating and identifying courses by their geographic municipality and county. Those seeking to visit or play at a specific facility should verify current information, rates, and availability through the course's official website.

How to use the District of Columbia directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
