The Washington Country Club is under new ownership and the Bryant family is trying to get the message out that they’re more than a golf course — a public one, at that.
The Club at Quail Run, formerly known as The Washington Country Club, conveniently located along Highland Avenue in Washington Court House, is a beautiful but challenging 9-hole golf course that’s opened to the public.
For many years the green was a private country club where members only could putt their balls, but a local agriculture farming family purchased the course and on-site clubhouse in 2012 with the goal in mind to make a memorable place for locals to hold events, public golf, eat a nice meal, and of course, have a great time.
“The Bryant family wants to make this facility one that everyone can enjoy, not just members,” said Brady Bryant. “We want to have a place where the public can hold events, enjoy golf, have a bite to eat, and make memorable moments to cherish for a lifetime.”
Bryant said that it has been challenging to carry out their goal because of the stigma of the course being members-only for decades.
“Everyone is invited here. There is no membership required, although we have annual golfing subscriptions that one may choose to sign up for.”
The golf course has a deceiving layout that makes you believe that it is an easy course having little to no hills, but the narrow fairway presents a challenge.
“We offer electric golf carts and a full service bar with snacks,” he said. “The price varies from season to season but our 2013 rate is $15 for nine holes and and $25 for eighteen.”
Both include a cart.
Perhaps the least known detail about The Club at Quail Run is that they have a public restaurant, too.
The restaurant, Albert’s, strives to bring our community a place where families can dine in a top-notch five star atmosphere without the five star price.
“Our menu spans from a turkey club sandwich to a 14 ounce, prime cut marbled ribeye, and even blackened salmon,” Bryant said.
What one would pay at McDonalds’ for a value meal, one can purchase and eat on linen with quality service.
Throughout the week, Albert’s features a soup of the day.
Their hours are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and Thursday and Friday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner.
“During the other times of the day, we offer a full service bar with snacks and alcohol, with appetizers, for those who want a drink during happy hour and a small snack.”
With the interior decorating being done in collaboration and consultation by world renowned fashion designer, talk show host, and local business owner, Bernadette Atkins, The Club at Quail Run is a relaxing place to eat and drink with family and friends, and host your next event.
“We want everyone to know that we are opened to the public and we’re more than just a golf course.”
