Members only??

The starters were young and had zero people skills. I don't ever give bad reviews however, this was ridiculously terrible. Went to grab a golf cart to load up our clubs, was told I couldn't take cart to parking lot. The parking lot had golf carts everywhere. I was somewhat baffled. Once we carried our clubs down we again had to ask the three (3) staff guys which cart. they pointed. Loaded up and went to drive to the driving range when I asked for a key to the golf cart I was told the range was closed. While there were guys using the range we were told we would get a cart key when it was our tee time. So we waited for Mr. Wonderful to give us a key as this 16 year old was in charge. Very frustrating from the start and apparently it mattered who you were to use the driving range or drive your cart to your car.

Nice!

Great track...bunkers, fairways, and tee boxes in good shape. The greens were bombed out...fix your digits people!

Cart was a bit rickety...made it though.

19th hole is abandoned but you can get beer and good choice of food from concession stand.

Good practice facilities. Rental clubs newer Callaway in good shape.

Friendly staff. Lots of wildlife and peaceful course.

Would recommend !!

Played both courses in a 5 day period, preferred the North/West course. Seemed in better shape, and found more pleasant to the eye. Both were fun to play!

South/West

Course was generally in great condition but greens were a bit rough with si much play. If golfers would repair their ball marks and not drag feet on the greens then it would have been great.

Great course

Great course and no waiting. I went to practice for a up coming tournament. Shot a 73. Would of been nice to sink one of the 2 birdie putts on 17 or 18 to go even par. Only complaint is, you can't golf alone, they will always putt you on a cart with someone else, every time.

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.
