Le Méridien Moscow Country Club is a golf resort in Nakhabino, just outside Krasnogorsk around 30 km (20 mi) north-west of Moscow, Russia. It was founded in 1994, and was Russia's first 18-hole golf course, having been developed from an idea first conceived by controversial American business tycoon, Armand Hammer as a way of attracting more western investment into the country.
The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., and built by Antti Peltoniemi under the guidance of the Russian government department, GlavUpDK, headed by Ivan Sergeyev and Alexander Zinovyev. Since 1996 the resort has been operated by Le Méridien.
Moscow Country Club has been the venue for European Tour event, the Russian Open since its inauguration, and also hosts the annual President of Russia Golf Cup.
