Maryland National Golf Club

The staff was great and let me play as a single. I finished the round in just over 3 hours as I passed two foursomes who stopped for food. Great course!

Maryland National used to be one of my favorite courses. I even held my 50th bday party there and we had a wonderful time. However, on my last round there, the staff charged us $20 for riding single on the golf cart. We had a 2 person reservation and a single reservation bc my friend decided to join us after we had already made the reservation. There was a fourth person playing with us who was not with our group and my friend felt uncomfortable bc he was a man. Dhe wanted to ride ny herself. When we asked why we were being charged $20 and not the man, they answered bc he arrived at the course first. It doesn’t matter whether he arrived first or not the $20 should have been split and paid $10 each by each single riding golfer. And they never used to charge extra for riding single before and all of a sudden bc they are busy, they start charging. This was definitely a discrimination on the part of the golf course. That does not mean that I will never go back but the attitude of the cashier really irked me. He actually thanked me when I complained. I wanted to speak my mind and let the course know that I was not happy. . I thought about calling the management and complain but I didn’t want someone to lose their job bc of my complaints.

I live 1.5 hrs away but this course was a halfway point for my brother and I. We’re both military and chose it because of the great discount. Overall conditions were good, but the greens were a little rough, unpredictable and very fast. Good carts. We’ll definitely be back to play; well worth the trip.

Maryland National is a gem. The layout (we played from the Gold Tees) requires one to hit every club in the bag. The fairways, bunkers and greens were in very good shape. The Par 3s are challenging and exceptional. There are many other memorable holes. The only slight let down is the final hole - it is the only tricked up hole (in our opinion) and it really requires accurate course knowledge to play it without getting frustrated - probably would be fine as Number 12 or 14 etc, but it doesn’t finish the round with a wow.

We will absolutely return and the food and service at the “19th hole” was terrific.

Thanks for a great day!
