Great conditions and pace

Was Father’s Day Sunday and tee sheet was packed yet pace was great. Fairways and greens excellent condition. No drinking water on course “due to Covid” is crazy. Had a cart girl but we never saw her until hole 17, even if she had to cover both courses I’d think we woulda seen her earlier.

Always a fun time there!

Overall General Review

First time player was for a charity tournament last summer…I’m guessing because of the charity event the staff was more friendly and accommodating…

But this last time the staff was absolutely atrocious! Concessions staff made us feel like we were inconveniencing them by asking for something as simple as a cup of ice

Proshop and Clubhouse staff were very polite and professional.

Concession staff was the biggest issue or concern.

Golf carts were in very poor condition and surprised it actually made it through all 18 holes…cart didn’t even work in reverse

Solid public 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.

A Nice Course

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 !

Poor Drainage

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.
