It is the successor of the Columbia Golf Club, organized in Washington, D.C., in 1898. Its current site was purchased in 1909; its golf course, which opened two years later, was designed by Herbert Barker.
The club hosted the U.S. Open golf tournament in 1921. Its members, who for eight decades kept themselves all-white and all-male, have included U.S. President Richard Nixon, former president Barack Obama, and five-star generals Omar Bradley and Hap Arnold.
