Lodestone Golf Club

Excellent layout for a mountain top course, playable but challenging and has some very memorable holes...13 and 17 are awesome!

The gentleman working the day we played (I think his name was Brent) was a class act. A lot of courses usually treat golfnow people like they don't belong there but never at Lodestone and especially Brent. He was very accommodating to our schedule because we were running late and never gave us any grief at all for our tardiness. The weather was absolutely stunning on the day we played and the course was wet but still perfectly playable. I just wish they had a bigger selection of food at the club house you have to go back to the resort for full meal but that is fully understandable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone with the PGA size greens, the heavenly views, the wildlife, the impeccable service, and the great layout, this course has it all and then some! If you are ever at Deep Creek and like to golf you have to play this course!

The layout of the course is great. We had to deal with a very wet course due to heavy rain a day earlier. Also, the greens were aerated and not putting as fast as they normally due. Roxanne was helpful and friendly which added to our pleasurable experience. Plan to play again during the summer.

Played this course for 5 years now when visiting my friends in Oakland for vacation, i am always looking forward to the round. Beautifully nestled in the hills with fantastic views. Course fairways are well maintained and greens are a 7 - 8

A must play when you are in the neighborhood

Course in great shape with spectacular views.

Greens very tricky to read but rolled true.

A bit pricy but worth it.

Amazing layout with great views of the lake. 2 amazing par 3s on the back half. The greens rolled nice. Hard course to score on without having played it before and knowing the greens. The large undulating greens puts a premium on being in the right spots.

A links style mountain course as it should be done

none better

Great all the way around. From the friendly staff to the amazing course. The layout could be the best I’ve played. A little pricey for most but you get what you pay for. It is well worth it. Bring your own water though, they give a bottle in your cart but none on the course. I will be back.

I heard a lot of good things about this course before I played here including it was the second best public course in Maryland. That being said, it was a very nice course, but the conditions did not quite live up to expectations. The greens were much better at Fantasy Valley - the other course owned by Wisp. We played there the day before and was expecting Lodestone to be just as nice.

I really liked the layout of the course. I like courses where the holes are spread out and not stacked up on top of each other. It really makes pace of play better.

The staff was very friendly, and it is a nice bonus for them to put bottled water and towels in the carts for you.

We came up for a buddy golf trip with 8 golfers and will try to make this an annual trip. We had a great time and the weather was perfect.

If you like mountain courses add this one to your list. We played this track on a Saturday and Sunday in early June.

We were welcomed by a friendly staff in all aspects including the cart attendants, pro shop, starter, ranger Joe and the cart girls. We were playing on a early season package that was booked through the resort thus we received a reasonable rate compared to the regular season greens fees.

The very challenging course has 6 sets of tees ranging from 5185 yards to 7475 yards and a 142 slope rating so there are many options for all types of golfers.

The cart path through the entire wooded course is done in cement and there are some sparsely located mountain homes and gorgeous views.

The many bunkers were very playable with a fine sand. A yardage device is a big help especially for club selection from the there are opportunities to hit 3 woods and 5 woods from the tee.

The large greens are full of slope green,providing for some interesting up and downs and risky 3 putts if you end up on the wrong side of the green.

There are a couple split fairways, a

biarritz green with a swale in the middle, a long downhill par 5 with a Deep creek lake view, and there is the par 3 17th green that sits atop a rock ledge.

There are some videos of the holes available for viewing on the course website so you can get a feel for what you are in for. All in all its a favorite mountain track that one can look forward to playinh.

This course is well designed with some great views.

However, it is a mountain course and 6,300 yards is above the skill level of our senior group.

Likewise it is grossly overpriced for retirees.

We made annual trips to Deep Creek for golf outings for several years.

We will not return until senior tees (less than 6,000 yards) and a reasonable senior rate (less than $50) are established.

Great shape, great views, lots of tees, huge greens and just a fun overall experience. If out this way take time to play. I was very impressed

Course is very nice with some great views of the lake. Enjoyed the day - only problem was it was cart path only because of a lot of rain recently. Cart path only on a course like this is painful. My suggestion would be to cancel if you find out its a cart path only day and wait for a better day to play. Cart path only resulted in a 5.5 hour round. On the good side - the course is beautiful. Plenty of fun and challenging shots. I do wish they would cut the high grass areas that are around so many of the bunkers. If you hit into the high grass area your ball is gone - almost impossible to find a ball in that stuff. The bunker placement makes the course challenging enough - the extra penalty of dealing with the areas around many of the bunkers just slows down play. Greens are great - not fast, but lots of slopes to challenge even the better putters. One last thing that was great - the cart girl! What a beauty! She came by at least 3 times while we were on the course. Seeing those legs one more time may be the biggest reason to make a return trip.

My star ratings are based on the conditions I played - wet and cart path only. On a dry day I would probably give each category an additional star.

Lodestone had it all. To begin my round when I arrived they had a cart ready for me. There were free range balls and the short game area was superb. It rained to start and during the wait the staff was friendly and polite. I got some goody at their small but well stocked clubhouse. The course itself was in excellent condition. The course was fair and the bunkering beautiful and plentiful. The course was the most beautiful I've ever seen, between each hole was a nice little drive through beautiful settings. Not the most walker friendly but not bad. A few blind tee shots but nothing cheesy. Great course, worth the 69$ twilight fee and some.
