Thinking About Living in Chevy Chase Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Chevy Chase Club and the surrounding DC Suburbs golf market.
Chevy Chase Club is one of the oldest and most storied private clubs in the Washington, DC area, founded in the 1890s and inseparable from the identity of the town of Chevy Chase, Maryland that grew up around it. Its 18-hole course traces its design lineage to Donald Ross, with later renovation by Arthur Hills preserving classic strategic bunkering and undulating greens, and the club hosted the 1936 U.S. Women's Amateur. Membership is invitation-only and member-sponsored, in the mold of the DC area's other old-guard clubs.
Unlike TPC Potomac (Avenel) or Country Club at Woodmore, Chevy Chase Club does not anchor one discrete bundled or gated development -- it sits within, and helped shape, the broader town of Chevy Chase, one of the Washington area's most established and expensive residential areas. That is a genuine, if diffuse, residential-relevance relationship: an old-guard club whose surrounding neighborhood's prestige and identity are historically intertwined with the club itself, rather than a manufactured proximity claim or a bundled community with automatic access.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is invitation-only and requires member sponsorship, entirely independent of home ownership in the town of Chevy Chase. No home purchase in the surrounding neighborhoods includes or requires club membership.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Golf membership initiation
Historical — as of 2017-01-01$92,000
2017-dated figure; more recent secondary sources cite roughly $80,000 initiation alongside a separately-cited ~$7,000/month dues figure that appears inconsistent with a $9,000/year 2017 dues figure from the same source family -- likely a monthly/annual conflation in at least one source. Treat all current figures as unconfirmed pending direct club confirmation.
Annual dues
Historical — as of 2017-01-01$9,000
2017-dated figure; a conflicting recent ~$7,000/month figure could not be reconciled this session.
