Firm Test

MB is a challenging course in Joppa, MD.

The course was in excellent shape and greens

were great too. The enjoyable thing about this course is that a lot of the holes are set apart by the terrain,

you only see the hole you are playing.

Several forced carries and the undulating greens can make for some very difficult 2 putts. The course

has some real character and bite and you probably

will shoot a couple strokes higher than your handicap.

Memorable tee shots are #10, 12, 15, and 18.

Mid week on course beverage cart is pretty much

standard at this track in-season. Say hello to the cat hanging around the putting green.

Great course and fair test

This is an awesome track. It is in phenomenal shape and plays fair but challenging. Good golf shots are rewarded here but hazards are gonna make you pay if you miss. Love this course and stop in after your round and see Ange at the bar.

Great Day with My Friends

When we saw the weather conditions for Tuesday I got on Golf Now and booked teh earliest Hot Deal time available.

So glad we did. We finished in about 4 hours. Only issue was a threesome of younger guys who kept trying to push us.

Poor pace of play but great modern layout

I have never experienced a round that went less then 5+ hours at this course. Out side of that the layout is great for all player types. The staff is friendly and don’t forget to say hi to the course cat Snowball.

Top notch track

Mountain Branch is a fine course and in quite nice shape for this time of year. To those in Philly who are looking for a new day trip to play golf and eat well, this is a place to go to for sure. The course is on rolling hills and the changes in elevation make club selection crucial. The greens are enormous and 3 putts can be your biggest enemy here. The staff is nice and the carts are really nice. Had a great day on my recent visit!
