Seasonal Intern
Chevy Chase Club was established in the fall of 1892 by members of Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Club, who sought a country retreat where they could enjoy horses, sports, and social gatherings, away from the bustle of the growing city.
In 1894, the Club secured its first permanent location on land that included the historic Bradley Farmhouse. Golf was introduced the following year with a six-hole layout, coinciding with the founding of the USGA. By 1897, the Club had purchased the 9.36-acre tract surrounding the Bradley House.
Today, Chevy Chase Club is a premier, full-service private club offering an 18-hole golf course, extensive practice facilities, 17 outdoor and 4 indoor tennis courts, 7 paddle tennis courts, a fitness center, 3 swimming pools, duckpin bowling lanes, an outdoor ice rink, an 18-room guest house, a nature trail, and greenhouses. Dining options include three clubhouse restaurants, banquet spaces, two seasonal canteens, and the casual Winter Center.
The golf course has a rich architectural legacy. It was initially laid out by the Club’s early Scottish golf professionals—Willie Tucker, George Sargent and Robert White. In 1911, Donald Ross was hired to redesign the course, with input from Walter Travis. In 1922, the firm of Colt & Alison executed a two-year renovation. Most recently, in 2024, the course underwent a comprehensive renovation led by architect Andrew Green.
