about the club
Baltimore Country Club is a family-oriented club rich in tradition The Club was founded on January 13, 1898 at its Roland Park location in Downtown Baltimore
Just one year after opening, the Club gained immediate recognition in the golf world by hosting the fifth United States Open Championship By the 1920s the decision was made to acquire land to the north of the city and expand the popular golfing amenities to a second location The East Course at Five Farms, designed by A W Tillinghast, officially opened in September of 926 and was instantly recognized as a masterpiece of golf course architecture
In October 1930, the Roland Park Clubhouse sustained fire damage; prior to completing repairs, it was virtually destroyed by a second fire on January 5, 1931 The new “in-town” Clubhouse was formally opened on April 1, 1932 many components remaining unchanged today During the late ’30s and early ’40s the grass tennis courts at Roland Park were selected by the National Lawn Tennis Association to host the qualifying rounds for the Davis Cup matches. The Roland Park Golf Course was officially closed in 1962 when all of the property on the west side of Falls Road was sold That same year, the West Course at Five Farms opened Two years later, the stately Olivier Mansion, which served as the original Five Farms Clubhouse, was demolished and replaced with a new building.
Squash courts, now international, were added to the Roland Park facility in 1963 The Club continues to host professional squash tournaments that draw participants worldwide.
