L'Hirondelle Club of Ruxton is the first place where I ever played tennis on hartru courts. What amazed me was the white balls did not become dirty. 
OPA's soft courts are every bit as good as those at L'Hirondelle. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The USGA lists Baltimore Country Club as one of the first 100 clubs established in the United States. Today the Club is some 3,000 members strong. It is widely recognized as one of the top 50 country clubs in the nation and top 100 in the world. In 2013, LINKS magazine named Baltimore Country Club as one of the 100 Most Prestigious Clubs in the World. BCC is one of only seven clubs nationwide to operate on two campuses. I'm surprised they have 3000 members. I thought they only let old money join. With 3000 members that obviously is not so. BTW - the "new" Poly was built on the old BCC course. It opened in 67 I think. The Elkridge club on North Charles is definitely picky about neau veau (sp?) rich. They turned down Ed Hale's application back in the 90s. "We wouldn't let him park cars here" is what I was told by someone in the know. La Hirondelle tennis club in Ruxton/Ryderwood had to drop its high admittance stds due to declining interest in tennis and is actively encouraging folks to join. |
