New D.C. Area Course Closes

Kendra Marr in the Washington Post reports on the closure of The Presidential.

Billed as a boardroom with a golf course, The Presidential aimed to be an exclusive retreat for corporate businessmen to network and entertain clients. Membership was capped at 150 companies, each paying $60,000 a year for employees and clients to use the golf course and clubhouse on Waxpool Road, east of Loudoun County Parkway. It also attracted a number of big names, such as Bill Dean, president and chief executive officer of M.C. Dean, and former Washington Redskins player Darrell Green, as investors.

A second phase, with an additional nine holes and other amenities, was planned to be added by 2010 at a cost of $30 million.

Shocking that it would fail with those numbers.

According to the club website it's a Dave Heatwole design.
