Devereux Emmett began designing the famed Blue Course at Congressional Country Club in 1922, he was turning land used for fox hunting into a course that would become host to a PGA Championship, three U.S. Open Championships and many other major golf events.
The Blue Course has been renovated throughout the years, most recently by Rees Jones who continues to oversee all architectural changes. A 7,255 yard, par 70 championship course, the Blue Course simultaneously challenges players with its layout and soothes them with its vistas, ponds, rock bridges and foliage. Ranked as one of the best courses in the country, the Blue Course has a rich history of exciting, memorable golf.
