A former golf club originally built to entice prospective residents of the planned community of Roland Park, with grounds laid out by famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead. The majority of its land has since been sold to the city for building what are now the Polytechnic Institute of Baltimore and Western High School and to the Rouse Company for building the Cross Keys development. The Club's golf course was built in 1926 on the "Five Farms" property in Lutherville, about 8 miles to the north

  • There is trouble afoot here, they plan to sell more than half of their Olmstead designed land to the Keswick Multi-Care Senior Center for developing more residences. Just last week, the board voted to demolish the historic tennis clubhouse, which was the once the site of the US Open, and had the first grass tennis courts built below the Mason-Dixon line.
