Explore the rich history and captivating challenges of Norbeck Country Club, nestled in the rolling hills of Maryland and situated in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
Premier Golf in the Rockville Community
Norbeck Country Club, located in Rockville, Maryland, boasts a range of golf amenities for its members and guests. The club features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by renowned architect Alfred H. Tull, offering a challenging and scenic experience amidst rolling hills and mature trees. Recently renovated, the state-of-the-art golf practice facility includes a driving range, chipping green, and putting green, providing an ideal space for skill refinement before hitting the course. Additionally, Norbeck Country Club offers a PGA Professional golf staff for lessons, a Full Swing Golf Simulator in the indoor Golf Lounge, men's and women's interclub programs, a junior golf program, summer golf camps, and a fully stocked pro shop catering to all golfing needs.
The Golf Course
Playing at Norbeck Country Club is an unparalleled experience, a journey through Alfred H. Tull's design genius where each hole presents a unique challenge and every vista takes your breath away. Opened in 1954 amidst Maryland's rolling hills, this 7,000-yard masterpiece is a living testament to Tull's philosophy, whispering his signature style in every bunker, green, and breathtaking view. Tull, an extraordinary course architect, envisioned the course's flow by walking the land, transforming topography into a golfer's symphony with layouts that feel organic and alive. Norbeck translates this philosophy into a delightful dance with the terrain, where undulating fairways and strategically placed bunkers guard landing zones like playful sand dragons, offering ample room for creativity and finesse on small greens.
