Forest Hills in Northwest Washington in Washington, District of Columbia — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Putting Green
Marjorie Post enjoyed an active lifestyle. She loved ballroom and square dancing, garden walks, and golf. Post installed this putting green so friends and family could join her in practicing the game. The green's closely clipped bentgrass turf is the same as that used on many professional golf courses and requires dedicated care. The garden is framed by flowering plants that bloom in spring.

Japanese snowball viburnums, suggestive of golf balls, encircle the putting green in spring along with pink azaleas.
Erected by Hillwood Estate Museum & Gardens. (Marker Number 150.)
