About

Congressional Country Club -- Bethesda, Md. Venue for Rory McIlroy's runaway U.S. Open win in 2011, among other historic majors, this course has endured more facelifts than Joan Rivers and Bruce Jenner combined. The par-3 10th proved dramatic enough, but outside of the tournament context, it's just another forced-carry water hole.
