Frequently Asked Questions

As a non-member, how can I get a tee time at Army Navy Country Club?

Playing Army Navy as a non-member usually requires an invitation from a current member, so start by networking. Occasionally, they host charity tournaments or reciprocal play with other private clubs, which are your best bets if you don't know a member. It's a private club experience, so don't expect public tee times.

Army Navy has two courses - which one should I prioritize playing, the Arlington or Fairfax?

You'll find the Arlington course is often considered the championship track, offering a more traditional, challenging layout with some serious elevation changes. The Fairfax course, while still excellent, provides a slightly more forgiving and walkable round, though it still demands precision. We recommend trying Arlington first for the full test.

When's the ideal time of year to plan a golf trip to Army Navy Country Club?

We always suggest targeting spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) for the best conditions at Army Navy. The courses are beautifully maintained, and you'll avoid the intense D.C. summer humidity and the colder winter months. Plus, the foliage in autumn is truly spectacular.

What unique challenges or signature holes should I look forward to at Army Navy?

You'll quickly notice the dramatic elevation changes, especially on the Arlington course, which make for some exciting uphill and downhill shots. Keep an eye out for the par-3 17th on Arlington, a stunning downhill shot over water that demands a precise iron. The tree-lined fairways on both courses also require accuracy off the tee.

What's the overall atmosphere like for a visiting golfer at Army Navy Country Club?

You'll find a welcoming, yet distinctly traditional, atmosphere at Army Navy, reflecting its rich military heritage. The service is top-notch, and while it's a private club, there's a relaxed camaraderie among players. Expect a well-organized, respectful, and thoroughly enjoyable golf experience.
