Bulle Rock is a beautiful layout. I've played this course numerous times throughout the years. Normally the course is in championship condition. Today condition was a little disappointing. Some tee boxes had no grass just dirt and sand. Some fairways had dead grass or diseases. The greens were beat up. Not sure what's going on with the course Hopefully they'll get it back to the pristine conditions they're know for.

Course conditions falling

Bulle Rock is normally one of the best courses in Maryland. I don't know what happen. The tee boxes were in bad shape. The greens were very bumpy and had bad spots on them. Again, not the normal for Bulle Rock. Our group was really disappointed in the conditions. Still had the Professional layout that is outstanding. Hopefully these conditions aren't the new normal. I'm betting on them getting it back to what we are used to. I'll wait until next year to to test this.

My Favorite course in the Mid-Atlantic area.

My Favorite course with the exception of the high rough and very windy conditions conditions today, made it very difficult. I still enjoyed the greens and the challenges the course presented.

The greens Roll True and are some of the best I have seen.

The hardest course you’ll ever love

Not in it usual pristine condition, but always a good time. We had an issue on the 3 rd hole that made the rest of the day uncomfortable. Bunkers are well maintained but need more sand, only about 1/2 inch sand and rock hard underneath. At least in the two bunkers I was in.

Great course Fair conditions

It was our first time playing here and unfortunately it was so wet it really affected our play. But if it were a little dryer this course would have gotten a 5 star rating.

Midweek Round at "Maryland's Best"

Bulle Rock has excellent amenities. A short game range and full range that are included in the greens fee. We teed off right at our tee time and finished as a foursome in 4 hours. The design is excellent. There are a few holes that have been clearly updated to improve rate of play (the par 5 on the back comes to mind) which takes away from the original design.

The conditions were decent for what I had expected. Deemed "Maryland's Best" for daily fee play, I expected better conditions. The tees had some issues with uniformity and grass heights were all over the place. The greens had been badly bruised from aeration several weeks ago. Additionally, it looked like they tried to triplex the greens when it was too wet leading to scalped areas in spots.

Poor Condition

When you go out of the way to play a Top 100 Public Course in the country, expectations are high. Unfortunately expectations were nowhere near reality.

The greens, although recently aerated, are patchy and in poor shape. Fairways matched. Worse shape than most municipals I play.

They don’t allow push carts because “this is a 5-star course” per one of the staff. Anyone who’s used a hand cart knows it provides a better pace of play and has no effect on damaging the course.

So you either have to carry your bag or take a cart. It was cart path only so on top of terrible conditions, the round took 4h45m because of cart path only. Mostly the groups ahead.

Will likely not return.

Course has degenerated from a high end course to a local municipal course with the usual maintenance problems. Greens were patchy and some fairways were spotted with bare spots.

Rained out

We arrived to a tournament that was supposed to go off at 9am and didn’t til 10am, so an hour behind from the get-go. It rained after our fifth hole and the horn blew us in. Hopefully Golfnow will be able to give me/us a refund, even though you’ve changed my membership benefits in the middle of the membership, by taking away all the benefits of the Golfpass+ and making it a regulate Golfpass one, while I still have the 2 months that YOU added because of Covid - hopefully this will get settled and I won’t have to write another note bashing your treatment of loyal VIP / Golfpass+ members

One of the best Courses in Maryland/Mid Atlantic

A great Pete Dye track that is challenging and beautiful. The conditions are very good. One of the best short game and warm-up areas you can find.

Monday Hot Deal

Snagged a $50 Hot Deal at 11am on a Monday and the weather was just as hot. I’ve only played here in tournaments so I was excited to play it 1 to 18, but on Monday and Thursdays the play back to front, not my choice but lived playing it that way. 9 should be 18 anyway it’s a great finishing hole. Course in great shape, it’s a great track and a must play.
