Caves Valley Golf Club is a prestigious private, member-owned golf club located in the rolling hills of Baltimore County, Maryland, about 20 minutes from downtown Baltimore. Founded from a vision in 1977 by Les Disharoon, former CEO of Monumental Corporation, the club was designed explicitly to be a championship venue rather than a traditional member-guest club[1][4][6]. Disharoon acquired 962 acres in 1986 and commissioned renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio to design the course, which opened in 1991. Fazio’s design is celebrated for its strategic length, variety, and subtle elevation changes that challenge golfers’ skills without excessive difficulty[1][4][5]. Caves Valley quickly gained national prominence by hosting significant tournaments such as the 1995 U.S. Mid-Amateur, the 2002 U.S. Senior Open, the 2014 LPGA International Crown, and the 2021 BMW Championship, marking it as a course capable of hosting major championships[1][4][5][7][8]. The club’s facilities include a state-of-the-art Performance Center with multiple practice ranges, sand bunkers, chipping and putting greens, and 49 luxury overnight rooms, emphasizing a top-tier experience for both members and business entertainment[6]. Beyond golf, the Caves Valley Golf Club Foundation, established in 1994 by Disharoon and Jack Palmer, has made significant philanthropic contributions, notably in providing scholarships to caddies, supporting youth golf programs, and partnering with organizations like First Tee and the Evans Scholars Foundation[2]. This foundation reflects the club’s commitment to community impact and the development of golf beyond its fairways.
