Fairway Hills golf

We had a great time, pace of play was good for being one of the first warm days of the year. The only complaint was the fairways were in rough shape.

Fairway Hills

Beautiful course not long but challenging. The greens are fast and tricky. As the name suggest try to keep it in the Fairway or bring a lot of balls.

Nostalgia Round

From 1996-2008 this course was home. Don’t let the yardage on the scorecard fool you. A low handicapper would have their hands full from the black tees.

Not a course that caters to bombing a driver. It requires precision play. I found the greens to be in really good shape considering the time of year

For $50, it’s worth it.

Low frills amenities.

Home of The First Tee of Howard County MD.

Great course (from forward tees) for beginners.

Fairway Columbia gem

I have played this curse for over 30 years and its always challenging . Pays to know where to position your shots. Not a long course but value for money. A course ranger would be a bonus.

This course is well kept.

Very nice course. Would love to play it when it is not so windy. I utilized a cart and would prefer the carts to allow you to drive closer to the tee boxes as well as enabling a bit more space before they shut down.

Solid course. Currently in good shape.

Course is in great shape overall. Greens looked well maintained and rolled true. This isnt the longest course in the area, but the layout is really fun and provides plenty of challenges. Perfect day for fall golf.
