Compass Pointe Golf Club - North/East Course

Compass Pointe is a great option in the area as they have two 18 hole courses. To borrow a line from Moneyball, they put their money into the course. Fairways, tee boxes and greens were in great shape. Staff is friendly and welcoming. It's not really walkable given the distances between holes but carts are included. If you're visiting the area it's convenient from Annapolis, BWI or Baltimore.

Played Northeast which is hard to get a good tee time . Just airated and early season so fairways , tee boxes and greens were not in good shape . Enjoyed getting on Northeast and good day

1) Layout: good layout

2) fairway and green: fairway is well maintained

Green is well designed and good conditions overall

3) Pace of play: great on a Monday afternoon . Don’t know about other times of the day and days of the week

4) Value: great value based on booking from Gilfnow

Unfortunately, for such nice greens, people don’t fix their ball marks. These are little things that people don’t pay attention to but it’s important to the Golf traditions and etiquettes. That makes golf different from other sports. I asked my golf companion whether he had a ball mark fixer and he said no! How can you fix a ball mark without the proper tool! I think the Marshall should ask all players before starting whether they have one in their bag. If not , give them one or sell them a cheap one and show them how to fix a ball mark.

Slow play ( not knowing how to move around a round) and no etiquette takes a way the enjoyment of a round !

I played a few days after a lot of rain. The started told me to go off on the Southwest Course, that it was moving fast, whereas the other course was crowded. What he didn't tell me was the reason. The fairways were soaking wet. The greens were fine and the tee boxes not bad, but everything in between was a swamp. Was a total waste.

Considering a decent amount of snow and rain the week before course was in good shape. Grounds crew did a great job getting it open for the weekend!

As a senior member, I play at Compass Pointe 2/3 times per week. With having 2 courses (NorthEast, SouthWest), I never get tired of playing there. The course is always in great condition.
