Columbia Country Club

Columbia Country Club is one of the true old-guard institutions of Washington-area golf: organized as the Columbia Golf Club in 1898 and redesigned by Donald Ross in 1915, it hosted the 1921 U.S. Open, won by Englishman Jim Barnes with the trophy presented by President Warren Harding -- a genuine piece of national golf history. Like its Chevy Chase neighbor Chevy Chase Club, Columbia sits within the town of Chevy Chase, Maryland, an area whose identity and prestige developed alongside its old-guard clubs rather than the other way around.

This record uses the disambiguated slug and name qualifier 'Chevy Chase, MD' as a mandatory defensive measure: US Golf Living's already-published South Carolina dataset contains an entirely separate anchor also named 'Columbia Country Club,' located in Blythewood, SC near the city of Columbia, South Carolina. The two clubs share nothing but a name -- every fact in this record was independently sourced against Maryland-specific search results and cross-checked against South Carolina's published anchor list to confirm no factual bleed-through occurred.
