Fairway Hills Golf Club

If unique is what you seek, you might enjoy this course. First it is only par 70. It has 6 par 3's. Many of the holes' layouts make no sense and are just "fit in" to the residential landscape they has been stuffed into. It is NOT any where near a "classic" design golf course. I suppose it was worth the GolfNow "Hotdeal" price of $38, but not the regular rate.

As long as you miss league play the pace of play is great. I get the GolfNow deals here almost every time I play and cannot beat the value.

Not a fan of the layout. Awkward layups, lots of blind shots. The greens were in great shape though. Wasn't really fast but mostly true. Overall, we enjoyed our time playing the course.

This is a short course that requires course knowledge to play well. Conditions were good for this time of year. Fairways are not greened up yet though. The greens were inconsistent. A few on the front 9 were bumpy but they did improve on the back. Nice new carts. Relatively slow pace, 5 hours, but it was Saturday.

First of all this course has the friendliest staff of any course I have played in Maryland. I have walked the front nine of this a couple times however yesterday played the back nine. Wow some ready good holes on the back. The Fairways and tee boxes where in good shape greens where a little bumpy but not terrible. Pace of play was great because not many people play when it's 38 degrees. Overall I had a great time.

Given the time of year, March, the course was in very good conditions. It was cart path only, and I guess that's why the fairways were great. Bunkers were the best I've seen in the area. Well maintained. Greens were firm. This was the first time I played this course, and I would play in the future. The Hot Deal $12 green fee was also a great deal. Looking forward to returning.

This was the first time playing this course. I found it to be in good condition, well maintained and a good layout. Cart path only rules for the winter, until March 15. Fairways in good shape, and the bunkers were excellent. Since this was my first round, there were some lay up shots. I would definitely would consider playing again with a Hot Deal.

I have played this course a few times now and on this last occasion I equaled my best score there (85) which always makes the experience more enjoyable.

Given that I had a hot-deal from Golfnow.com for 12 bucks (+3.49 booking fee) on a Sunday morning it was a delight all round. I would normally expect to find a deal for about $35-40 at the right time.

It was also the first time I've played after the bridge was repaired between the 6th and 7th holes, which cuts a round down by at least 10 minutes as golfers no longer have to back-track around the course to get from the 6th green to the 7th tee.

For those that don't know, the bridge was swept away by storms last Summer (that also swept away much of Ellicott City) and it has taken 8 months to restore the 100m bridge/gangway, however, the golf club have been magnificent in the way they have co-ordinated golf around this catastrophic set-back for them.

With all that behind them, I would definitely recommend this course for all standards of golf, where it lacks in distance in makes up for in tight and tricky holes, I really enjoy playing there and have been subject to a wide range of scores, I will be returning.

The wind was blowing +/- 15 mph and it was 50 degrees.. What a day; but it was fun

Love the lay-out, course not long but it has plenty of bit if your not on your game. Of course the fairways were dormant (late-Feb) to be expected, greens were moderate not slow but not quick either. Front nine was a challenge especially if this is your first time out (look at the score card), back nine is a challenge wow! We played from the white tee and it's a great track to keep you thinking through out the entire round. Was a little slow on the front but the back nine picked up and it was smooth sailing from there, highly recommend and at $25.00 from Golfnow you just cant beat the deal! Range was a little on the small side but the experience out weighed that, highly recommend. Enjoy!!!!

There was some confusion between the clubs computers and GolfNow. The staff was very polite and I was able to start right away while they sorted things out. The course has some challenging par 3's and some fun 4's and 5's. The greens were in great condition for February.
