Wow!

The was a stunning course to play but very challenging. I'm a first year player so most courses would be hard but this one is truly a shot makers course. As my game improves, I can see me making this my home course.

Be ready for a long round, but its a great. course.

this course is a beautiful course but can be slow and expensive. So get a reduced rate and play it at off hours or off season and you will be glad you did.
The course layout and conditions are probably the best in maryland for a public course with whiskey creek a close second. If you like golf you better play here at least once or twice.

One of the Area's Best!

Great course, great staff, always in superb condition, greens are fast and true, great layout. My only complaint with this course is that there seems to be a regular contingent of folks that play SO SLOW, and they are clueless about letting you play through. Wish the marshal would educate this group of folks!! I marked the value as average based on retail price, but with GolfNow price incredible value.

Outstanding course

Excellent course in fine shape. Rolling elevation and a good mix of obstructions and open holes. The greens were still on recovery from aeration thus challenging to read. The best of the five courses played last five days, according to our visiting friends from Denver, CO.

A tremendous 5 star course

This is one of my favorite Arthur Hills course. Not overly long, but really tough. Less than 6,100 yards from the whites, with a 131 slope!

Immaculate conditions , although greens were a little choppy. Overall, this rates as a 5

Not A Course for the Senior Player

First the positive. Course was in very nice shape. The people were very nice. As a 62 year old senior I found the front nine of the course nearly impossible for me to enjoy even from the senior tees. Every par four seemed to be driver, three wood. Several were in the 385-400 yard range with long carries over waste areas for the second shot. Nearly all the greens were uphill and guarded by bunkers so there was no way to even roll the ball on. The back nine is fairer for the Senior but still difficult. We played midday and bunkers really needed attention, not sure if that was a management problem or inconsiderate golfer problem. I guess the course is ok for the longer hitter but I do not recommend for the senior, especially with the high price tag.

Great challenging golf course.

Played this course for the first time ast Sunday. It was in absolute pristine condition. I would recommend that you take the 45 minute drive outside DC and give this course a try. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect

Top Drawer from start to finish! Was greeted at the bag drop by friendly staff who took care of my bag from the trunk, and back to the trunk at the end of the round. The clubhouse staff where very cordial and unpretentious.

The course condition is pristine and challenging! The greens are fast, but they all roll true.
Had an outstanding afternoon in the sun, the rolling hills and valleys and scenic overlooks are postcard perfect

Best course in Metro DC

This course has the best greens and staff of any course in the metropolitan DC area. Takes me about an hour to get there but well worth the trip. The greens are so good we were lucky it rained hard the night before because when it's dry they are really fast for an amateur golfer. Will definitely continue to drive an hour to play this course

Deep Pockets

Great course for this area. Be prepared though, it is on the higher end of the scale price wise. I got a round here on a hot deal for $30, which was 60% off. Carts are awesome with the GPS but the yardage isn't always right on. The designer did not forget the sand on this one so if you are not accurate off the tee, be prepared to rake half your day away. lol. Overall though, a beautiful course across from my childhood home that is definitely a must play in the Frederick area.

Excellent course

Even if I didn't get a great deal from golfnow, this course is worth the money. Excellent service, nice carts with GPS and club head cleaner. The practice facility is very nice. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. Put it all together and it makes for a great overall experience! Not to mention the expertly maintained greens and fairways. This course rivals private clubs in my opinion.

Arguably the funnest course in the Frederick Area!

Greens and fairways were in pristine condition but, many of the bunkers needed attention in a bad way...
