Golf in Cabin John

Cabin John is a Montgomery County community on the Potomac River above Great Falls, a small residential enclave where the river's gorge section provides dramatic natural scenery within easy reach of the Capital Beltway. Burning Tree Country Club—one of the nation's most exclusive private clubs, known for its all-male membership that has included multiple presidents—occupies the wooded terrain between Cabin John Creek and the Maryland suburbs. The natural landscape here is protected by the C&O Canal National Historical Park and the Great Falls parklands, creating a forested buffer that makes Cabin John feel isolated despite its location within the dense DC suburban matrix.
