Course Details

Since the 1964 U.S. Open, Congressional's Blue Course epitomized classic American parkland golf. Initially crafted by Robert Trent Jones, it underwent various transformations by son Rees Jones for subsequent Opens. Over time, surrounding trees flourished, casting shadowy wood corridors. In 2020, faced with drainage issues and declining conditions, the membership sought a major overhaul. Architect Andrew Green led the transformation, envisioning a design akin to Emmet's original concept. Dense forests were cleared, replaced by expansive fairways weaving through fescue-filled meadows, adorned with formidable bunkers and distinctive greens. The remodel, featuring a new drop-shot par-3 10th hole, earned the course accolades, including our 2021 Best Transformation award and a notable climb in the 100 Greatest ranking. With its grand majestic clubhouse, and the course potentially lined up for 10 more major tour events over the next few decades, see this newly restored course layout and get a peak inside this beautiful gem clubhouse with the history of some of the presidential founders.

ALS Therapy Development Institue

1 Day. 100 Holes. 24 Golfers. 1 Cause.

On Tuesday, June 17th, 24 people who have been impacted by ALS embark on an extraordinary endeavor: to play 100 holes of golf in a single day. To raise awareness for ALS and support the vital efforts in ALS support, care, and research—all in the hope of beating this devastating disease once and for all.

Cory Sullivan and Alex Litt, whose fathers were both impacted by ALS, reconnected by chance in Branson, Missouri—each on separate golf trips with friends. Though they had been close during their time in New York, life had taken them in different directions after moving away from New York. Cory lost his father, John, to ALS in 2009. A decade later, Alex’s father, Marc, was diagnosed with ALS. Alex and Cory talked on the phone regularly about ALS's impact on their families and both of them turned to golf as an outlet.

In 2022, while walking a course and standing on the 4th hole at Onion Creek, they began talking about how golf could be a way to raise awareness and build a community for ALS. What began as a conversation has since become a movement—uniting people across the country at the intersection of golf and ALS, with one mission: to build a community of people affected by ALS and raise meaningful funds for support, care, and research through leading ALS organizations.
