Ridiculous restrictions/misnamed restaurant

If you have physical or respiratory issues, best find a friendlier course. Fairway markers (many over 200 yards from the green and all over 100 yards) prevent you from getting to your ball except from the cart path ( and that’s NOT when it is Cart Path Only)!

Ordered b-b-q ribs with steamed broccoli special and was served chilly veggie. We complained to server and asked for the bill. It took just under 25 minutes to finally get bill. Just ate there this past Sunday after an outing. Salad was not even close to fresh crispy. Chicken parm was over cooked, tough, and no taste of parm. Tough to cut so ate only 2 bites and walked out. And this has been going on for years so this is not an isolated incident. Won’t eat there again!

Outstanding public course

Played again last Saturday and this course only keeps getting better. Course conditions were outstanding from very cushy fairways to the true rolling greens. The rough is made for the golfer that likes a challenge.

The course is visually beautiful and great fun to play. If you are looking for a course that is worth every penny, Bulle Rock is that course.

course that lived up to the hype

Heard a lot about this place. Was down from Jersey for college visit at UMD so checked it out on way back. Tough but fair track. Glad I played the baby white 6000 yards tees! Blues destroys me 4:'t feel like we waited too much, but two hacks in my group shot 99 and 110.

Amazing conditions

Even though it was cart path only, the course was in amazing shape. Closest course to compare is mystic rock at Nemacolin woodlands, another Pete dye design. Truly the top tier in public golf in Maryland

Great Course - Just a few things holding it back from being truly special

I played Bulle Rock this past weekend and this course has a spectacular layout and is so close to being truly special.

So the good - obviously the layout, the amenities and the staff are wonderful. While it was $107 with a Hot Deal it was totally worth the price.

Now the bad. The pace of play was atrocious, despite rangers being on the course. The group in front of us were several holes behind and the round took five hours. The tee boxes could be better and the greens were shockingly poor and were VERY slow. The carts were TERRIBLE and the parking break didn't work on either of them we used for the round. They would pop out and start to roll away despite us putting all our weight on them. That was super annoying.

If you are a high handicap golfer I would not recommend this course. The rough is VERY thick and the course is challenging but great. I would also suggest playing on a weekday if possible to avoid the pace of play issues. The staff were amazing though and the restaurant there is fantasitc.

Still one of the best

Heavy rains caused cart path only conditions. It made for some tough walks but luckily it wasn't a 98 degree day.. The greens were firm but much slower than usual. The course is a great mix of holes and requires every shot in your bag. The range and practice facility are as good as it gets

Wish I could play it more

…but being on the over $100+ side, I’ll spurge every couple years and play. Found a hot deal for less than that, so it was a great time . Awesome warm up facility included in the cost of playing. Short game chipping area that gives players shots ranging between 40-90 yards. . Nice little putting green right there. Great full size driving range with grass tees is a short cart ride into the neighborhood. Then back to the first tee with another very large, but flat, putting green directly next to the starter and first tee.

Were first group after club championship. ( according to starter) Cart path only always adds time to the round, but we finished in a little over 4.5 hours. Played white tees at just over 6000 yards. Many blended tee options to get the distance you are looking to play.

The rough just off the fairways would let your ball completely go under the grass. Had to be almost directly on top of your ball to see it . Some tough pin placements made it interesting. The 2 traps I was in were a little damp from recent rains, but raked up and playable. Nothing is perfect. Rough spots were around the course, but nothing too extremely horrendous. Understandable summer time wear and tear. Greens seemed a little slow to my players in my group. All were in good shape.

This is a tough track. I recommend anyone that plays, play Bulle. But be honest with yourself about your ability’s and play the proper tees. You WILL enjoy yourself!!!

Bulle Bulle !!

Pete Dye did it again....what a great course to play in Havre de Grace, MD! Felt like playing Oakmont with the thick and unforgiving rough along with the quick greens. From the pro to the cart attendant to the staff handling the bags, everything was top notch at Bulle Rock. A wonderful layout with less than expected Pete Dye trickery, a real challenge to play and practice. Treat yourself and go play this fantastic track!

Not for beginners

Bulle Rock is one of my favorite courses but if you dont find the short grass the rough there is soon thick sometimes you have trouble finding your ball which tends to slow.play a little at times if it is buried you're not hitting it far. Very challenging and definitely makes you play smarter. Its always in great shape and is fast out one of the if not the best courses in MD. Only rivaled by Rum point and other OC and Delaware courses . Love it everytime!! Cant wait to go back and improve upon the 90 I shot there !!
