We really enjoyed playing the course.

My wife and I really enjoyed playing this course . Course was in good shape (7-10-2013). We would play it again, hands down. Note: This is not a "beginners" course.

Cool layout and fun course

I have played this course a few times and each time it gets better. The course is always in great shape, the course is challenging but no so tough that you don't enjoy yourself.

Whiskey Creek

I was looking at top 10 courses in MD and this was in the top 5 per most lists and a reasonable price so I had to give it a go. The photo's of the holes make it look splended, and it is. Showed up about an hour early for my t time, it was rainy so the course was wide open and we could move our time back a bit to utilize the practice facilities a bit. The driving range was nice, as was the practice green. We went out in front of a 4some who apparently thought they were all tiger woods and would be hitting into us all day.. we lost them and played through another group along the course of 18. Cart path only that day. Greens were excellent and the course was maintained expertly. The fairways have alot of undulation and it was very enjoyable. Most every t box and view from the green were remarkable. I got in the habit of snapping pics along the way, just too pretty. The 18th was very unique with the rundown building from a distant past and a challenging approach to the green. I very much enjoyed my round and would highly recommend the course, it definitely felt as it warranted the top 10 ranking and was also fairly priced (I did get the golfnow hot deal price) even without the discounted rate.

Wow!!!! What a gem...

I drove 40 miles to play. Worth every mile. This very well might be one of the best courses I have played. Greens smooth and quick, fairways fairly wide, never had a bad lie, rough semi- tough, but playable. We paid $46 through golf now and was worth every penny. I would play again in a heartbeat. Don't miss this one. Beautiful holes, hilly, and scenic. Everything positive, course, staff, and food. I will remember this course for a long time.

One of the best in Maryland!

Whiskey Creek has wonderful views as the cart path winds up and down hills and passes through wooded and open areas. It is particularly challenging with many (most?) of the greens at elevated levels from the tee boxes and fairway approaches. You can hear not too distant freight trains from some holes and the variety of holes is a delight. The course conditions are top notch and the cart GPS is a very nice touch. The clubhouse and its Pro Shop are excellent as is the dining. The delightful course is even more attractive using Golf Now which helps the club fill foursomes and we Golf Now members save a lot (saved me about 30%) on a weekend in a slot where I joined a threesome.

worth the drive from DC!

As nice a public course I've played in the DC area. Pretty views, well maintained, few houses, and decent pace of play. Plays a bit shorter than the yardage, given the number of elevated tees. Not intimidating off the tee, but the greens can be a bit tricky. My only criticism is the very heavy rough just off the greens; playing for the first time it's easy to misclub and find yourself losing a ball for a shot only 5-10 yards long. Regardless, I'll be playing here again and definitely recommend a visit.

Well conditioned course, friendly staff, pace of play was slow due to cart path only due to wet conditions. Great value using GolfNow. Will play again soon.

5 STAR COURSE - MUST PLAY

Got to the course a little early anticipating a full warmup session but was offered to tee off as a single. This was at 1pm on a perfect spring sunday! I glady jumped on that offer. Eventually ran into another single on the course on hole 4 and played the rest of the round as a 2 ball. The course was PRISTINE. Whiskeys layout is seductive. It is challenging but fair. Some classic risk reward opportunities will present themselves. Front 9 has some shorter par 4s. But you better stick your approach otherwise double bogey is in play. Bring your A+ short game to Whiskey. Shots around the greens require excellent touch. Back 9 has some incredible holes. In fact this back 9 rivals any in the area. Love the castle ruins on 18. Hit my best drive of the day on 18 and carried it! Some memorable holes for sure. If i could afford it, i would play this course every day. So happy they offer rates on Golfnow. Playing there for 50 bucks is a steal. Pace of Play less than 3.5 hours on a sunday afternoon? thought i was dreaming, had to pinch myself when i got home 2 hours earlier than i thought i would. 5 star must play course.

Great Course, but very expensive and slow play when packed.

Very slow play because of the challenge this course presents. I played when it was "empty" off hours and it was still over 3 hours by myself. Great course though if you have a foursome and time.

Best public course in the metropolitan area.

A bit of a drive but worth it. The course is excellent! Great bunkers, fast greens, some water but not to much. Very accurate and well depicted touch screen GPS in every cart. The food in the clubhouse is outstanding. They provide free range balls. A superb experience from top to bottom.

one of the top 10 courses Ive ever played

The course had a majestic layout over the hillsides of rural Maryland. Every hole was hard but fair giving us a fun but challenging outing. Allthough the greens had been aerated they were lighting fast and true. The staff was very friendly and helpful.The clubhouse facilty was pristine with more than enough amenities. I look forward to returning to play in season. I have already told many friends and I just played yesterday. Keep up the great work!!!!
