Opened for play {{Years or months ago|1991}} in 1991, the par 72 course plays between {{convert|5570|and|7425|yd|0}}.[2] Founding and premisesRTJ was founded by the legendary golf course designer Robert Trent Jones "while conducting an aerial site survey for another project," and it was designed by him, too. Located about {{convert|30|mi|-1}} from downtown Washington D.C., the course is on Lake Manassas, an {{convert|850|acre|km2|sing=on}} reservoir. Jones is to have said "the terrain is aesthetically perfect...I don't think we could have done anything better anywhere," and he has created legendary courses Spyglass Hill, Firestone Country Club, Bellerive Country Club, and Congressional Country Club. He actually bought this land in the hopes of attracting a world-class membership because there was a need to create a world-renowned golf course in the area. He called this course "my masterpiece," and it opened for play in April 1991. RTJ has a clubhouse that is a "{{convert|65000|sqft|-1|sing=on}} Georgian-style mansion, with its red brick exterior and stately white columns and portico serves as the clubhouse," and the club does not allow for residential development, but does allow members of the club to construct cottages. For all the water around the golf course the only hole that a player has to fly the ball over open water on the lake is the par-three eleventh hole.[2][3][4][5] Presidents CupThe course hosted the inaugural Presidents Cup in 1994, and again in 1996, 2000, and 2005. The United States defeated the Internationals on all four occasions.
PGA TourThe course hosted an event on the PGA Tour in 2015, Tiger Woods' Quicken Loans National. The tournament was won by Troy Merritt, his first victory on tour. MembersIn 2017, it was reported [6] former President Barack Obama joined the club.
