Guests

The magic that surrounds the rich heritage, lush grounds and sense of tradition that emanates from Green Spring Valley Hunt Club dates all the way back to 1892.

It all started when the members of the Green Spring Valley Hounds were challenged to a timber race by the members Elkridge Fox Hunting Club to determine the relative merits of the local hunting horses. Imagine the excitement of that first race!

Today the Lower Club is home to an enthusiastic golf and tennis community serving its members many of whom are the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the original 80 members. A heritage that is highly valued in everything we do.
