Compass Pointe Golf Club - South/West Course

Took my son (he is 37) here to play for the first time and I told him the course was really nice, he was impressed. Even the sides of the cart paths in the woods between holes was scored and over-seeded. The maintenance here is just excellent, so nice to see and so nice to play a course in great condition from tee to green. Had 3 birds so that helps the opinion a little bit. Will play again I am sure.

I play this course at least 3 times a year however for the price I paid today I would play once a week. I've never seen the price below $50 to play this course. That's not a bad price however who could pass on a $28 w/cart bargain. The course is in great shape and the pace of play was excellent.

Looked like the greens were done a month or so and they looked good and rolled well. I appreciate the maintenance! Course in challenging and in nice shape. I enjoy playing the par3's from a strike-able distance for me (in the 125 to 175 range from the whites) Will definitely be back.

I played North/West at 5:00pm expecting to only finish 9 holes. Pace was excellent and I was able to force a second 9. Greens were in incredible shape although I repaired about 50 divots including my own. Tee to green, everything was in great condition.

1. Was supposed to have a 906 tee time the person running the carts made us tee off at 855 because people were stacking up already. So the 2nd person in my group didn't even play because they missed the tee off and to quote them " I'm not paying for 18holes when I'm only gonna get to play 16 "as they had to go check in then come get a cart to catch up to us.

2. The group I was with played at a fast pace yet we still had 3 groups stacked up on one hole the entire day. Either tee times were not met or sent too many people to the same group of holes.

3. Just a personal opinion I don't feel the course is worth $65 or more.

I played on a Wednesday after we had a lot of rain on Monday. The course was still fairly wet, but to their credit, I could drive on the fairways using the 90-degree rule*. It’s early in the season and the fairways haven’t had a chance to green up yet. I would have enjoyed my round more if the course was greener and the fairways were dryer. I played from the blue tees, the extra run out from dryer fairways would have been helpful. The greens are sloping and very fast, just the way I like them - no complaints from me.

The staff wasn’t overly friendly, but I found the starter to be very helpful after he figured out I was a first-timer at the course.

I need to play this course again under summer conditions.

* I’m always amazed how many people have no idea what the 90-degree rule means. Have they never taken basic geometry?

Course is still a quagmire on at least the East course, where Bermuda grass continues to be dormant during cold weather. Fairways are slow to dry and are quite mushy. Greens are lightning fast and totally unsuitable for amateurs, most approach shots simply roll off the green. A course that was amazing ten years ago, but has fallen off badly since then. It’s a shame such a beautiful property has been mismanaged like this. If they could at least crown or slope some of the troublesome fairways to get the water off quickly….just please make the course playable!!!

Great course in close proximity to BWI. The layout on South West course, along with wide tee boxes and flag positions provided a wide variety of options and challenges for every level handicap. Greens were aerated a few weeks ago, but rolled true with plenty of undulation. Paired with a couple regulars who showed me line on tough putts. As a first timer, I especially appreciated the front office staff who were very accommodating. Definitely plan to be back next time I'm in the area.

A lot of water pockets on cart path

Green is terrible
