About Us
Mount Vernon Country Club is situated on one of George Washington's original seven farms.
Golf Course Architect Russell Roberts designed the nine-hole golf course which opened on June 3, 1961. On June 10, 1961, an exhibition match was played by Head Pro Dick Mason, Sam Snead, and two local professionals Bobby Bowers and Al Jamison, where Sam Snead shot 67.
In 1963 the members purchased Mount Vernon Country Club and renamed it Woodlawn Country Club. Golf Course Architect Ed Ault designed the second nine holes which opened in 1968. In 1993 Woodlawn Country Club again became Mount Vernon Country Club.
Over the past twenty years, the Club has continued to develop, including significant improvements to the golf course, which were designed by Golf Course Architect Bill Love. In 2014 the Clubhouse underwent an interior renovation, and in 2016 significant improvements were made to the golf course. In 2021, the club hired Joel Weiman as its new Golf Course Architect, resulting in renovation of the tee complexes, renovation of holes 1 and 9, and the construction of a new practice facility over the past two years.
