Nice Course

Compass Pointe is a hidden gem. The layout of the course is outstanding. The course is really in good shape. The greens were very good. I can't blame them for ball marks that people don't fix. It had rained for two days so the greens weren't that fast. I was surprised that every part of the course was in good shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens. Especially with all the rain they had. Because of so much rain we played the ball out of the sand traps. Many were full of water. Overall, a great time had on a very nice course.

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

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.
