Chevy Chase Country Club Golf
I love your golf course, playing from the black tee offers more challenges. Your fairway is excellent, the green I would say it's a true green most of the holes. ChevyChase offers challenges to most average players. I wish I could play the course much but it's sort of expensive for me as non-resident especially on the weekend. I wish I had the privelege like the residents. I would love to play here every weekday and weekend. Thank you from tonyelazegui@yahoo.com...
