The course is in really good shape. People ahead of us let us play through so the pace of play was fantastic. The design and layout of the course make for a really fun round!

One of the best around here

Excellent course, challenging, but fair. In excellent condition for the most part. One or two greens were a bit worn, choppy, but otherwise all was well. Fairways very well maintained. Also rough was not so high that you couldn't hope to find balls a bit off the fairway. Best part, the course is not surrounded by houses! Plenty of carries, water on some holds. forces you to hit the ball in the right spot. Will be going back as soon as I can.

It’s a very nice course

Very nice course, greens were soft so there were a lot of ball marks and scars on the greens. I fixed many marks that were not from my ball, just lazy players ahead of me.

Course is mice and challenging especially in the wind today

Don’t waste your money! They closed the driving range at 11am and the service staff was the worst I have ever seen and experienced at a golf Course!!!!

Southwest vs Northeast

Just plan the Southwest course. Much more complicated than the links course on the Northeast side. Very nice course but I hit 106 on the Southeast versus 90 on the NorthEast. Easy to loose balls with water in several holes and trees everywhere. Bring on your best game!

Compass is a great value

New Compass is a great value under COVID. 1 Cart per person is typically included. Plaid on Sunday afternoon with my daughter who is a beginner. We did not have to wait and nobody was pressuring behind us.

If you like links is Maryland for an affordable price, you should give Compass Pointe a try.

5/7 would recommend

First time playing the course after finding a hot deal, 18 holes + Cart for 45. Course was in great shape, fairways super soft, greens were air rated but still in good shape. Bunkers super wet with puddles due to previous rain. Really enjoyed the round and the layout of the course. Bring bug spray, mosquitoes are definitely rough on the course.

Very nice course a bit easier than the South corse

Enjoyed the round, course was in very good condition in spite of lots of earlier rain was cart path only which I respect in order to keep the fairways is such nice shape. Greens were just punched so they were terrible to put on, but I am glad to see such efficient maintenance being done.

I look forward to coming back soon when greens fill back in

Very nice track in very good shape

First time playing the South course here. Was in nice playing condition, very well maintained. Greens were nice except it seems a lot of players don’t fix their ball marks, so there is a lot of marks on greens.

Nice, challenging layout and I enjoyed the playability of the course.

I booked another t time for this Saturday!

Staff is rude

Course is awesome, staff was horrendous. Rudest and snobby as I've ever encountered golfing.. It is what it is though, play here for the course only.
