Fairway Hills Golf Club

The course is short but dont let that fool you. It is challenging. Many holes are tight with junk area surrounding it. The other main issue is the tee boxes arent cut that well, the rough has varying heights (maybe bc it has rained recently so they werent able to mow) and the greens are not uniform and dont roll true. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and perhaps by mid June it will be more well kept

Course condition was better than the last time I played. Didn’t seem like anyone was monitoring the pace of play. The GPS-monitored carts are problematic.

Challenging short course.. great layout. Greens were a bit slow but mainly due to weather not cooperating lately (too much rain to cut them). Very well kept course. Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable. Only recommendation would be to have coffee machines working. Haha.

I’ve played fairway a lot over the years (mostly with coupons because it’s not worth the regular price generally) and while some things have improved, the overall conditions haven’t. Honestly it’s mostly the greens that are essentially unputtable. There’s patches of dirt throughout every green and it’s been that way for over a year. Fairways are ok tee boxes are bad, but the greens are truly terrible. Staff is generally friendly and the newer carts are sweet but that’s about it. You get better conditions playing the baltimore city munis tbh.

Played Fairway Hills for the 2nd time this year. Always a fun course to play, the course is in average shape with some tee boxes, greens and fairways a little rough. Carts are new with GPS, ball/club washer, and covers on the back in case of rain-- very nice. Only complaint is that both times we played, the cart cot out of sync with the GPS--- for example on hole 14 both times we played, the cart would not move forward or backward so we had to get out and actually push the cart forward until it 'clicked in' that the cart was still on the path as required. This happened both times we played on this hole. The first time we played, it happened on several holes so maybe they are still getting the carts set up. We also saw others have this same difficulty as well so it wasn't our cart and it wasn't the fact of being off the path either. There's some major construction going on around at the 2nd hole as well so you do have to take a detour near that green. All said and done, the course is a fun course to play and so centrally located, we will assuredly be back!

This was my first time playing Fairway Hills. Grass on the fairways is sparse. Bunkers were in good shape. Greens were in fair condition. Starter was accommodating. Guidance correlating driving distance and tee selection was helpful. Cart GPS path control was a little too tight. On #1, my cart got stuck on the cart path approaching the first tee. Given the price paid, it was an ok experience.

Really nice, short but challenging course. the only reason for 4 stars is the cart. It's gps controlled and starts acting funny and shuts off not even close to restricted areas. I actually had to get out and push my cart to get it to drive again. not sure why they want to micro manage their golfers like that.
