Maryland National Golf Club

The staff & club amenities were fabulous! For a public course, it was on par with a country club feel. Bloody Mary’s were excellent! We can’t wait to play here again!!! Our experience couldn’t have been any better! Thank you!

Overall I thought the course was fun, lots of elevation changes, challenging holes. The best part was they offer a military rate on weekend mornings. Conditions were good, I wasn't a fan of the bunkers though, many seemed like they were more dirt than sand.

My gripe with the course was we had the 7am tee time. They made us tee off in darkness. It was three holes before we could see a shot. Common, this isn't the first year it's been been dark at 7am. We played Musket Ridge later that day, asked them what their first tee time was and they said 8am. Made perfect sense.

Minus the darkness I enjoyed the course, and would go back if in the area.

Not a flat tee box, greens were rock hard, fairways were in poor shape. Staff didn’t really want to be there - mostly golf shop employees.

This is among my favorite courses and I was treating myself to a round here. I came as a single and booked it through GolfNow. When I arrived a friendly starter greeted me and when I asked to ride alone he contact a superior who said flatly that it would be $20 more for me to do that. There was no shortage of carts (no one had teed of for around 20 minutes) and I asked again about the single cart as I didn't know the man whom I was to share a cart with and have been very careful as I, and my wife, though vaccinated are in high risk groups. They made it clear that wouldn't happen. Then when we got on the tee there were 2 guys who had been waiting for a half hour to tee off and, since we were only 2 as well, we introduced ourselves and invited them along. At this point the staff came and wouldn't allow us to make a foursome. You tell me the reason as none was given. I get the impression they don't like Golfnow users and discriminate against them. If you don't want us, then don't use Golfnow. Great course, but the management needs to improve and remember we PAY THEIR salaries by playing there!

It's been several years since I played Maryland National, and I'm glad I made the hour trip out I-70. This course is quit a challenge with both narrow and wide fairways, and most of the holes weave and cut and there simply are not many straight holes. There are bunkers placed in landing areas throughout the course, and the rough is long, lush, and penalizing. From tee to green, this course is in excellent condition. Even though they aerated earlier this week, the greens were hard and fast. The small needle-point aeration marks were no problem. The pace of play for a Saturday morning was good...4 hours 10 minutes. We waited on every hole, but we were a twosome following a couple of foursomes, so it's going to be much slower for us. The scenery and vistas from many of the holes of the mountains are beautiful. And, Maryland National has a great grill for after the round. The $79 aeration special was a nice treat, as it's usually $95-$115 on the weekends so it was a nice surprise. If you've never played Maryland National, give it a try...but take your patience and think your way around the course for proper club selection (the elevation changes will add or reduce clubs).

I played Maryland National after it was recommended by a starter at another course. What a great experience. There was a lot of elevation change, great vistas, and an excellent layout. It has the feel of older courses that I have played with blind shots, and sloping fairways. I can't wait to return to the area and play the course again,

Course was unique in many ways,fairways and bunkers were very playable.Greens were a little shaky but fair.Inside staff was very nice and helpful,starters(cart boys)could improve their social skills?Overall we had a very good day and will certainly return!

Ridiculously slow pace of play, like sitting in gridlock traffic for hours. Finally quit after 4+ hrs after hole 13. Group ahead of us still on tee box every stinking hole and had to wait for each and every shot-brutal. Quit after 13 holes and brought obnoxiously slow play to pro shop staff, they did nothing but make excuses. If u like a 5+he round play here. (Don't think they've ever heard of a Marshall)

2nd time playing Maryland National this year. Try to get there at least 4 times a year. Each time you leave the course you feel you should have scored 3 shots lower. Yes it has some quirky holes but they make you think.
