Course is in great shape!

The fairways and greens are in great shape. Later in the season it may be different, it's currently in the best shape that I've ever seen.

Hidden Gem of Maryland

I so enjoyed playing here. The course was in great condition. It's a challenging course but fair. It's every bit as good as Maryland National, Worthington Manor and other great Maryland courses at a much more affordable price.

Great condition

Was up visiting from Hilton Head and played this little gem I haven’t seen in years. It was in great shape, nice employees and couldn’t have been happier about the golf course. Hats off to staff at Mountain Branch

Fun course, extremely slow round, questionable clientele

The course itself at Mountain Branch is awesome. It's a really fun layout, and the whole place was in great shape when we played. The staff was cool, no complaints there. But, the great course conditions felt wasted because of the pace of play. We were out there for a little over five hours, which is just a brutal wait when there's nobody in front of the group ahead of you. The day felt more like waiting in line than playing golf.

To top it all off, things got a little weird on one of the many tee boxes we had to wait at. The two singles we were paired with (who had just met) fired up a bowl and passed it between them. It was a bizarre scene, and I'm pretty sure the secondhand smoke sent my next few shots into another dimension. So yeah, between the snail's pace and the surprise smoke-out, we won't be rushing back, which is a shame because it's a great track.

Great course for the money

Course in good shape. Greens rolled good, not too fast and not too slow. Fairways in great condition. Tee boxes were good but a few holes had the tee markers in weird spots that weren’t level. Rough was brutal, not US Open rough but it was thick & high. One of my foursome lost two balls barely out of the fairway. It was also cart path only which I don’t think was necessary, course was not wet.

Best golf course ever played

On 5/23/25 I played mountain branch golf course in Maryland. Although, the pace of play was a little slow due to cart path only, due to rain days before, I can honestly state, this was the best golf course I’ve ever played. Beautiful golf course!!!! And a fair challenge.

Great course friendly staff!

My son and I played this course for the first time. We throughly enjoyed the round. The weather was not great due to a lot of rain this week so it was cart path only but despite that the course was in great condition and we had a great time. The golf carts had the most comfortable seats I have ever sat on for a golf cart. The afternoon weekday rate was under $50 which made it a great value for this level of a course. The staff was friendly and we were paired up with another father and son that were familiar with the course and that made it even more enjoyable. I would recommend this course to my golfing friends.

Great course and value for money

The course was in great condition and is great value for money. Scenic and has some challenging holes. The round took five and a half hours and there were no rangers that attempted to approve the pace
