We arrived 10 minutes early. Upon entrance there was a very timeless and grand staircase that separated the floors, while simultaneously showcasing the interior of the different levels. Next, after climbing the stairs, hanging up our coats, and being given our name tags from the receptionist, we entered the main banquet room.
In the main banquet room we networked over coffee. After that, breakfast was served and I found a place in line, and filled up my plate with scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, and fresh fruit. Following finishing breakfast, speakers began their presentations. Some of the speakers that stood out in my memory include a former West Wing actress, who spoke about Veterans courts and Brigadier General Mark S. Martins, who spoke on a range of topics including military history and law. The event was hosted by Fluet Huber Hoang PLCC.

Founded in 1924, the Army Navy Country Club or ANCC is a private and member owned recreation facility. Membership is offered primarily to those from active duty and retired commissioned U.S military officers representing all services and ranks from Second Lieutenant and Ensign to General and Admiral. However, ANCC is also home to many civilian members who have served our nation’s government.
The need to create such as club arose in 1924 when officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps stationed in Washington needed outdoor recreation facilities. These officers could not afford luxurious membership fees of many and existing private country clubs in the area. While others were put in long waiting lists in such clubs even though they were stationed there for a few years. There was so much inconvenience for them to just have an outdoor space or facility to engage in fitness work out for limited time that they required. Thus came November 11, 1924 when the ANCC was incorporated on the Arlington site.
The ANCC - Army Navy Country Club features:
Golf courses offered where even President William L Clinton retreated to escape pressures of his office. President Dwight D Eisenhower most especially referred to a complicated double dogleg par-5 on the Arlington course as his own private hell. Pro Shops are always fully stocked with the traditional and latest trend of golf fashions and equipment. The ANCC also hosts golf tournaments, events and programs for all their members. The golf staff consists of PGA and LPGA Golf Professionals who have years of teaching experience and have received multiple awards and recognition.
