Can’t wait to come back!!!

My friend and I have never heard of Mountain Branch, saw it on special on golf now, and decided to take a chance. It was one of the most enjoyable rounds. The course was in great shape, challenging, very good pace of play. After the round we stayed for lunch at the clubhouse bar which had very good food and drinks. Lastly, the staff was very friendly. I’ve already told my golf buddies about this course and we cannot wait to come back!

Worst driving range value in MD

The driving range is the worst I ever been to. Cracked old worn out and unwashed balls for a premium price. If you pay for a small bucket you’re lucky if you get half of the advertised 45 balls as the ancient ball dispensing machine is worn out as bad as the balls. The mats under the roof are rock hard and will give you a bad case of tennis elbow.

The short game practice area is a joke. There’s a resemblance of a sand trap. Don’t you dare to use your own balls practicing there, the money hungry owner will chase you off.

Fast and Crazy Greens

The greens were really well kept and very fast. The hole placements were a little insane but otherwise I had a great round. Getting the ball to slow down and stay near the hole made it a challenge and increased my average by at least 6 strokes, but probably more.

Enjoyable and challenging course

Course was in very good shape. Fairways weren't to long, primary cut was playable and you could find your ball with a little effort. Greens rolled well and were pretty fast. Greens also had multiple levels and slopes on nearly every green. Very few flat putts. Much faster and they would be very difficult for most golfers. Plenty of room off the tee and sightlines were clear. Carts were only limited to paths on 1 and the par threes. Pace was quite good for most of the first 9 then things slowed down a lot. Waited on most shots after that. That said, round only took 4 hours. I will come back here in the future.
