Be it replacing its existing ground maintenance facility and cart barn – which will improve the spaces surrounding the club – or upgrading the lower level of its patio to offer a new dining and social space, every taken measure is being done so as to enhance the overall experience of this legendary, multi-award-winning, familyfriendly country club. Contact: Beatrice Santos-Araujo Company: International Country Club Web Address: https://internationalcc.com/ For more than six decades, International Country Club has been bringing a local community together, providing acres of space set against a natural backdrop from which members and guests alike can enjoy fun in its many forms. Opening its doors the same year JFK became the President of the United States, this modest club – which then consisted of only a one-storey building, golf shop, and snack bar – quickly grew in both size and stature, aided considerably by the opening of Dulles Airport the following year. With this new airport giving the club the International portion of its name, the plucky upstart developed alongside Fairfax, quickly garnering a reputation as a go-to summer destination as a result of the swimming pool it unveiled in June 1970. Over the following years, the rapid growth of the club led to the building of a new clubhouse, the forming of leagues, and the unveiling of prestigious championships, with the legacy of the International Country Club being cemented almost overnight. Today, almost 65 years later, those who step through the doors of International Country Club are afforded an experience rooted to the same ideals that have steered the club since day one – albeit updated somewhat to ensure that it continues to deliver everything expected of it and more. Keeping the same innovative streak it has always held dear; the club recently underwent a more than $11 million transformation to realise its modern-day vision of spacious interiors and a continuously impressive golf course. Exploring this fabled course in more detail, the high-calibre golfing experience offered at International Country Club begins with a terrific opportunity to get some points on the board with an initial par 5. With a pond to the left of this first tee and an elevated green giving way to an angled bunker, this scenery marks the beginning of a magnificent journey spanning one of Virgina’s hidden-gem courses. From here, it’s nearly all lush horizons and rolling hills, encompassing within them a bucket-list destination for any golfer. Those more interested in tennis or pickleball can partake in a game or two at one of the eight courts comprising International Country Club’s racquet sports area. The four outdoor courts have been crafted by Har-Tru, which is famous for surfaces that go easy on the body and that remain cool in the heat. With these courts being lit well into the evening, there is no reason for any game to be called early. Inside are four DecoTurf courts, with these tournament-level hardcourts delivering a great experience in winter months. Whether their passion is golf, tennis, swimming, or all three, International Country Club is immensely proud to be able to offer experiences for children to enjoy. From joining its Gators swim team to taking part in a Junior Golf play day or parent-child tournament, there is plenty for children to do here – underpinning the family-oriented nature of the club. Moreover, designed to appeal to every child’s inner Olympian are Junior Sports Camps, which offer a combination of tennis, golf, and swimming classes. Offering a whole new world moments from home, those who live in and around Fairfax, Virginia, are invited to International Country Club, a family-oriented hideaway that is renowned for delivering an outstanding service and exceptional experiences.
