Rockville is a city of approximately 68,000 people that sits just north of Washington D.C., only 30 minutes from the center of the nation’s capital. Like several of its neighboring cities, it’s mostly residential, with plenty of good restaurants and boutique stores surrounding the popular town square. There are also 67 parks, adding to the city’s laid-back feel despite the density of its population. It’s something of a golfer’s paradise, boasting multiple public and private courses, driving ranges and interactive experiences for those who prefer virtual sports.
