#2: Congressional Country Club

Blue Course

Location: Bethesda, Maryland

Par: 72

Yardage: 7,574 yards

Back in 2011, Rory McIlroy blew away the field and won the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club by eight strokes. As I followed the tournament closely all week, I began to really enjoy the course itself. After just one tournament, this course quickly made my top five list. However, a trip there this summer to see it in person for the Quicken Loans National only moved it up further on my list.

Congressional has 36 total holes that are split into two different 18-hole courses. All the PGA tournaments are held on the Blue course while the Gold Course is the shorter of the two and hasn’t hosted any PGA Tour tournaments. In all, the course has hosted four major championships, three U.S. Opens and one PGA Championship. Additionally, Tiger Woods’ tournament, the AT&T National, which is now known as the Quicken Loans National was held at Congressional on seven occasions.
